I am reading a lot on here about inexperienced flight crews, and things like ALPA should campaign against lesser experienced pilots. My questions are these... Where are we to gain experience? What will happen when ALL of the experienced pilots are no longer allowed to fly?

I think I need to say this is not flame bait. That way I won't get censored. But its not. I am reading these threads and confused about where all of tomorrows professional pilots will come from. There are not enough retiring from the military and regional airline pilots don't seem to meet the standards set by the professionals and of course the media. So what are we to do? Does some one need to have a stroke of luck and ditch a regional sized airplane in the hudson to qualify them as an expert.

There is a lot of finger pointing once again and NO answers. Unity among pilots is of course out the window as well. Instead of pilots at companies with something to loose protecting what they have from the evil corporations that run them they simply want to complain and talk down to those that have no dog in the fight.

It seems this viscous circle repeats itself anytime someone looses flying. This is why half or more of the pilots you fly with have no clue what is going on in the industry, they are tired of the monotony of nothing getting done.

It just dawned on my that I have learned something with this post. Wow.
