Ok people you want to know the truth. I know I am going to take flack for this. Truth. The airlines are hiring pilots that are not experienced. 1500 hours is the minimum. When I had 1500 hours. I didn’t know shit. Many of these young pilots don’t have basic flying skills. They will take any short cut to get to the airlines. Of there is a hard way and a easy way. They will take the easy way every time. Especially if there is an APP to go with it. If you ask a new hire. They are GODs gift to the airlines. Management is just filling seats. HR is in charge of hiring pilots. Pilots are now out of the hiring loop. HR is just filling quotas. The airlines are now scrapping the bottom of the barrel. More accidents will come and happen. Many of the newer pilots have no LOVE for aviation. The older pilots did. The newer pilots just money and good days off.
1500 hour pilots don’t know what they don’t know. I hate to say this. Not everyone can or are made to fly an airliner. Just like I can’t don’t Calculus or Trig.
