And it works like a charm because all the riddle rat/ATP flight school/inept types are buying the BS by the truck full.

I know some kid who failed 5 checkrides, literally busted bravo flying his family the DAY AFTER HIS PRIVATE CHECKRIDE, was arrested for MJ, and I know of at least one altitude deviation while he was a CFI and should be nowhere near any airplane, ever. He keeps texting me because somehow the guy made it to 1500 (BIC time anyone????) and he's choosing his company of choice out of 4 offers. Most of them with a cash bonus, this dood is a good guy (fun to party with) but is aviation inept and a complete danger to society. Meanwhile, half the places he has an offer for he'll see the left seat as soon as he hits 1000 121. Until you limit the bottom feeder scumbag operations ability to hire a disaster waiting to happen like this I'm not convinced things will ever change.

There's plenty more where he came from.
