Try not to be so sensitive about your flight times. Your amazingly inapropriate reaction to the article tells me you took it personally. Low time pilots are becoming a growing problem around the world. People are getting jobs today with half the experience they would have needed 10 years ago. Supply and demand.

Ok so I missed the point that it happened down under. I had a bit much to drink. In reality this has happened in the USA with the same reactions.
And I'm not taking the low times personal... And please don't preach to me about the way things used to be. I started flying in 1990. I didn't go to some "6 months to the right seat" school either. You? It isn't my fault that the airline industry is the way it is today.
In addition, I don't agree with jumping into an airplane that I know nothing about just for the flight hours. But the reality of this is that a 1,500 hour pilot is in the right seat of a Metro who is being trained by another pilot who we would like to think is qualified and proficient in the type. Is this any different than the night flight training out of VCT/CLL in the ATR back in the day?
