I don't think he meant lowering the bar. For the the most part domestic carriers train for competence. If you don't get something they would rather spend the extra time/money and make sure you get it. Many forign carriers will take people along until they get something wrong and then drop them. As far as I know the US military used to do this with their pilots, although it sounds like it is switching to more of a train to completion system. I'll agree though... What I read about the CX interviews scare me.
