S2A, in this day and age, yes. Everyone coming up in the industry these days seem to expect that they will be given a job, what they don't realise is that they have to earn it. Just having the minimum experience listed does not mean you have earnt the job.
What does that mean exactly? How does one 'earn' a jet job in Australia.
It becomes even more ridiculous when you go to overseas airlines and they think you are some kind of retard if you have 4000 hours+ and aren't a jet captain.
