Arrogance
So Dent when I brought my near 6000 hours, half of which was turboprop time, & around 4000 Command hours to Cathay I wasn't "experienced" enough coz I didn't come from the Air Force?
That's pretty arrogant, even for you Dent.
In my job before CX I flew as a Captain on a two crew RPT, turboprop. Like hundreds of guys just like me at Cathay.
I delt with flight attendants, engineers & commercial pressures every day. I routinely flew 5 sectors in a day, often flying instrument approaches in marginal wearher, often hand flow. I hand flew visual approaches into international airports at the same speeds as a 330, to a far higher standard than Cathay ever asked if me.
It pisses me off that so many ex Air Force pilots at Cathay see me as inferior to them coz I came from GA.
I worked hard for years & gave up a lot, I took massive personal & financial risks for my shot at CX. I got every right to be here with my head held high.
You might be pretty good at what you do, sure seems like you reckon you are, chances are I'm just as good. Chances are you might be looking for me to back you up when things aren't going well on the flight deck one day too!
