At first I was inclined to think BMC was being a shit-disturber, or even a jerk(!) but then I got to thinking. I worked on the dock after I got my bare-bones CPL (with float rating of course) until someone decided I was competent,
I'm a nice guy. A shit disturber on a part time basis.

God, I'd like to be a shit disturber right now. I just can't think of how. Fewer people are rising to the bait these days.

The economy and growth in aviation appears to be stagnant here in North America and worse in Europe. Growth in asia is incredible with some carriers taking new Boeings ,Airbus and Bombardier aircraft 1 or 2 a month and some even more, Indonesia for example needs up to 800 pilots per year to accommodate the growth. At best they can produce 300 from the existing schools. That would be 300 brand new CPL/IFR pilots with a type going into the right seat of a Boeing ,Airbus ,ATR or something similar. There are no commuters with fleets of B1900 or Metros.
Yep, and the accident record of Indonesian carriers speaks volumes about those experience levels you describe.
