Ummmmmm....except that replacing a low-time first year FO with another does very little for a company as far as keeping costs down. Training expenses would probably tend to be higher due to washouts and "retraining" events. Besides, a company saves a lot more money getting a 10 year guy off the list and replacing him with a new hire than replacing a 1st year guy with a new hire.
Me thinks this flame baiter is a moron
