Heard a pilot had never seen snow before, ever in their life, on their first landing in Trenton in the winter. Finally the term “slippery slope”has some direct meaning!
Glad you said it. 2 years is not enough time for a lot of people to be ready to be captains.
We are hiring people with so little experience, short upgrade times are a huge concern not something to complain isn't moving fast enough.
Look around the industry at how much metal has been bent in the last couple years.
