WHAT ALBIE SAID...
My water-wings have lotsa patches & duct tape on 'em - they kept me afloat for two years.
The "entry-level positions" right now (Boeing S/O and F/O) are VERY crowded. It wouldn't make much sense to train a bunch O' plumbers right now.
If it were up to me there should have been more movement earlier into the widebody to make room for more new-hires. They don't pay me to make those decisions, though.
It seems to me it has to HURT the company financially before the bean counters authorize any action to alleviate problems. Funny, it's like they borrowed the playbook from the Naval Aviation detailers...
