All for keeping or increasing the barriers to entry, but the rigor and aptitude required doesn't quite compare to other well paying professions, such as medicine, engineering, or law. Retard certainly is a stretch though, and boorish.

And you see what happens in other countries when that happens. Major difference in pushing buttons and flying the airplane. Especially when things go wrong.

Interesting take, however, recent world wide events seem to disagee with you.

People with this attitude are the ones I typically have to babysit a little more during a trip. Lack of SOP's, energy mismanagement, ignorance of the FOM, etc. Because any 'retard' can do this and that attitude shows, profusely, in their adherence and performance.

You say that, but in the U.S. the Majors are still hiring based on how much time you spend down at the local soup kitchen and what your GPA was 20 years ago and not on your flying experience.

You’re selling yourself short. Try and view it from a layman’s perspective just as you are those other professions.

There’s so much good experience out there it is their way of differentiating.

Based on my experience, I don't think that has much weight with respect to hiring.
Let’s see... widebody check, tpic looks good, 5 initials without a hiccup, nice job on the GPA, UH OHH... what is this? A failed check ride in a Cherokee during the Clinton administration!?! What do you have to say for yourself?
