For some reason, and I think it's some sort of HR thing we seem to be lowering our standards and qualifications for "special interest" category people. Our need for "diversity" may be resulting in lowering the bar.
Not sure what fleet you are on, but perhaps some of the, "not ready for prime time" is a direct reflection of the exceptionally **** poor 7 THREE 7 training we all have to endure. Nothing like having to teach yourself the jet.
