True that it is cheap - in training numbers and figures.
If you go the other way it could be very expensive and kill a company - just imagine a plane goes down and pilot error is the cause.
Lot's of airlines think in training costs and don't really know the person that they are hiring - i think we all agree that psychologists and HR people can be tricked sometimes very easily if you push "the right buttons" during an interview. At the end an interview is not rocket science if you did it often enough.
And accident/incident history shows enough cases with just the wrong people in the left seat(and sometimes in the right as just seen recently in Germany).
I think EK is one of the ME carriers that tries to keep the DEC numbers quiet low(i stand corrected if someone comes up with other figures , especially compared to Etihad or Qatar) for said reasons.
