The Loco showdown??

No lack of experience, both are exisiting jet Captains, both high time, one has VERY heavy experience. Tons of it. Both are paying £ up front. No mistake.

Unfortunately the only way to alter this trend is, "supply and demand". there will be a shortage of pilots soon. There will and is a shortage of Controllers now. I have seen the industry work for the last thirty years and the employment works on a cyclic basis. We cannot stop this but in my view you have to be in the right place at the right time. All companies will change entry criteria to suit the market at the time. The whole aviation employment industry can be blamed on the employers as they have caused it to be. Lack of foresight, reactive management and run by financial wizards and witches. If we ran the business with guidance from the financial department, then it would be far better.
Any comments.

I withdraw the crew transport comment. See that's still running just fine.

Rumbled, so might have to change my name again.

Any mileage in FR changing some of their new build -800's into -700's to remain competitive ie. fly them into the smaller airports where an -800 struggles ??

No, not while they got such a good deal from Boeing and airports are willing to pay for "improvements" to allow Ryanair to operate 737-800s.
