Unfortunately guys, the momo generation is the future. Gardenshed, Chipotle, and donpizmeov, we have to endure this until we leave. The past will never return. This is the new reality and thankfully I am on my last decade in the business. It will never resemble what we lived the last 3 decades. Particularly in the ME. My first widebody job, 25 yrs ago required 5k with 1k tpic to even be considered. Sure cadet programs have been around for years, but it doesnt give one the experience required to be the most effective pilot. Qualified and effective have different meaning now versus previous times.
