I was talking about economic consequences. But,ok,fair point.
I don't really understand the logic behind a fight for B scale allegedly for more experienced guys though. Would it not make more sense to say we want cadets with such and such an experience? Are we really being honest when we say SO experience is our main concern??
In my memory there was always a problem with zero hour SO's, and I fly with a LOT of SO's with a LOT of hours. I personally never had a bad experience with an SO.
What I do remember though from 10 years back is the odd A scale captain lecturing me about the quality of recruits going down (on totally unacceptable B scale terms of course)...
Are you in training? Then why not train them as long as it takes? Don't check them out if they are not ready.
