Olster, I said
Will all sky gods please state how they developed their god like status when slagging off those they see as beneath them!
I didn't specifically call anyone a skygod but

We sky gods may have developed our god like status by experience and training first .... and only then focusing on the problem called money.
So I guess HE thinks he is.

Reduced requirements for pilot recruitment is a means of opening the pool of potential new-hires and ergo not having to pay more for experienced pilots ( they've dried up anyway
So what is a company supposed to do? Pay more to the existing guys and still be short?
Airlines have always had a training element, Easyjet put 200hrs guys in the seat just as monarch BA etc, I don't like it if there are more qualified applicants although I've not applied myself. The CTC model has taken over in the UK and cadets have always featured in Europe also.
What is important is QOL money and health. The proffesion attitude to flight operations should be a given if you chose this career.
Have I applied, no. There just isn't enough financial incentive yet.
