ChinaBeached,
So after 'turning down the job', you practiced what you preached, you took the mature and intelligent path and spent a large portion of your spare time over the next seven years pulling yourself on an anonymous forum. The same ten guys on here spinning the same broken record is the reason most CX pilots don't even bother reading this part of the site. Whoever is responsible for moderating it, especially before the last TA should be ashamed.
I completely agree, the quality of the local cadets leaves a lot to be desired but there are also guys joining with previous experience. Cadet programmes have been around for over 50 years at mainline carriers and they won't be disappearing soon.
C scalers are quickly becoming or already are the majority. If we wanted to stop CoS99, 08 etc. it should have been nipped in the bud when it happened.
For those that actually work here, remember who the real enemy is. 25 year housing, HKPA and RP's will continue to be bundled. Time for all the unions to come back together and dig their heels in collectively.
Or you can continue to waste your life on here and spin your wheels...
