Sarcasm aside, great post Pixy!
However you are barking up the wrong tree, not one of the stellar managers or competent regulators is sitting on top of it no more.
You'd have a better chance getting their attention by dancing on a pole, they are all drewling at the bar around it, looking out for cheaper, less educated workforce as new hires.
..not sure what you meant there,glofish...hope it is all healthy sarcasm!
surely a lot of old farts with a " spiky idiosyncrasy" for former military pilots and" youngsters ", who landed here 20+ years ago directly from their bush flying caravan, would benefit from a little "introspection"....life has been generous to them when probably "with their experience" they could not have landed any other job in Europe or north America or Australia in a flag carrier...believe it or not, some of this "top guns" you talk about, after a military career, were flying for a major airline 20+ years ago....
today some of this" top guns" are on your RHS or are asked to go back to RHS...they are still not good enough.... not good as you...
I like Pixy's post because talks about "trickle down" experience...experience is also wisdom and intelligence ...
The Experience factor is indeed very complex...let's try not to make it a " battle of the have-nots" . let's keep it professional.
