I think you give this conceited brat too much by suggesting he's some management stooge. That would take mean he's standing up for something. But a stooge, most definitely.
Xwind: you joined an airline and at a pay scale that everyone but your Gen-Y brats warned you against. That pay scale reflects how much CX thinks of you. That pay scale also reflects how others in the industry - world wide - think of you. Your colleagues at best tolerate you as they have no other option when inside the cockpit that is insulted by your presence.
The AOA dropped the ball to even sit back and watch it happen, yes. If they imposed the same training ban on C-Scale, as was mooted, then perhaps it could have prevented your insulting existence in any form of a pilot's uniform for a while - or at least at CX. But they didn't and so you and your type are present to define how low standards in both professionalism and character are.
If this training ban in any way slows down the likes of you getting anywhere then the rest of us say "THANK YOU". And if it does lead to direct entry pilots who possess things like "experience", "credentials" and what you lack most of, a "spine" then maybe the travelling public could be safer. But rest assured, the reason such applicants to CX are so few and far between is because with that spine, those hours and those credentials comes a sense of self worth to never work for that insulting remuneration package or conditions. Yes: the same one you begged to eat up is the same one real pilots walked away from.
You can't see past your own self indulgent, pathetic, ignorant and arrogant self to consider a long term.
