Well at the end of the day (career), that SO with zero experience will have a much greater return on their investment that those of us who slugged it out making crap wages and risking our lives to land that shiny jet job.
I would suggest those with the experience that allows you to bag on those without, use that flight time to get the hell out of this toxic place.
The way I see it, those SOs are far smarter than any of those who've "paid their dues"
Pointing the finger at them as cheap labor? Who allowed that to happen in the first place?
The stupidity and selfishness of this pilot group amazes me.
