Glofish, psychiatrists have many terms. I could say you have egocentrism!
But as always, true dianosis requires evaluation but a clinical professional.
I said
Let the company recruit and train, that's their job not yours!
Which you didn't seem to like much.
And you said
By the way, you might not know: In most respectable airlines recruitment and training is partly done by active pilots. At EK they are actually fighting the erosion of quality by not letting any self proclaimed "proffesional" pass, and they will have to withstand pressure from the company.
So really, what's your problem? Find the guys who are interested and evaluate. As for the evaluators, if you can't take the heat then don't be on the recruitment panel. I have seen nowhere that the actual level of ability is being reduced, only the experience level. Only those able to pass the assessment get in! What the hell do you expect the company to do?
Are the whole BA 777 fleet pilots gonna apply just to help out your crewing issue? No.
So get real, take the best of the available pool of qualified pilots and train the bits that are currently missing from their repertoire.
As for me, maybe I will join, be fun to goad you on a 17 hour Panama
