I will agree that being a Captain is a lot more difficult, however cherry picking bad apples too make an argument is thin at best. There were a lot of people hired in 2016-2017 and I would say most are still here if they wanted to be here.
The way this topic talks you would think we have 500-1000 morons out on the line simply because they were hired during a specific time period, keeping their job solely out of dumb luck or something. If we go by this logic, we should be seeing huge upticks in incidents and accidents as they all start upgrading.
