It's kind of BS to say that just because a person goes to a large fast paced school they don't deserve any respect, why? Because they didn't do things the same way that you did...I agree if they suck then don't applaud their abilities....if they are a safety hazard then they shouldn't be working flying people for money...but those two things i would blame on a person and not an institution...im not saying that some flight schools suck but not everybody picks up and learns as quick as others...i seriously doubt that anyone who is a direct threat to other people or even themselves will be working at an airline, or continue to work at an airline for very long...
I would expect people's abilities not be at there climax when they first get to the regional...okay someone has some rough crosswind landings in an rj...they are in the right seat as an FO, I would consider the right seat to be in a learning phase...someone who can fly alongside a left seat captain and learn from them, learn about the aircraft, how to finesse the controls on those tricky crosswind landings, etc etc...Perhaps you should spend more time mentoring your First Officer's,instead of criticizing there abilities.
Now im not doubting your abilities as a professional airline pilot, and you have a clearcut guide on your recommendations for a succesful career in aviation,
But i disagree with you saying that because they went to an aviation school they don't deserve respect, everyone deserves respect, if people are suppost to respect you then why are you immune from respecting other people who have chosen the same profession as you? Because they did it a different way?
Safe flying and happy trail's
