Airline flying can be a bit like driving a bus, but it too has its own unique set demands and challenges.
Seems it’s popular to bust on the flowthroughs, but in my experience, they universally do a great job, are good sticks, can fly and think at the same time, have good situational awareness, know the operation and are comfortable dealing with unusual situations and all the other day-to-day crap.
Fly with a half-dozen different pilots every month for thirty-something years and you’ll see quite the variety. Very very few that are actually “weak” - and those few still get the job done.
Don’t start none, won’t be none.

Possibly it was “The hiring process is highly competitive”

What I was finding was block hours actually decreasing YOY while ASMs are increasing, as we add larger aircraft and retire smaller ones (S80, E190).

Nothing started, just know when the military vs flow argument is about to start and your post and the one from name user usually starts that ridiculous and useless thread. Actually surprised it didn’t in this case.
