Spinner, you're kidding aren't you?
Last time I checked, knowing all those definitions were part of the IR test and renewal. I've not come across a cadet in QF who didn't know those types of things. Besides that, I think you'd find a lot of people who have been in an airline for a bunch of years have forgotten how to work out LSALTs etc so that isn't a 'cadet' specific issue! (12 degrees from a hard fix isn't it?
)
As for your next statement, what the? I've found some aircraft with former military pilots as captains hard to deal with. I've found some aircraft with former GA drivers as Captains hard to deal with. I've found some aircraft with former cadets as captains hard to deal with. Big deal. There are idiots and morons all over the place.
Oh my gosh. I only had 1500 hours when I was first left alone at the controls of a 767 with a second officer. The sky is falling, the sky is falling. Get real. I jumped through the same fiery hoops as every other pilot in Qantas. Some of the posts on this thread certainly fit the mould as 'childish' so it's probably just as well that you view the 'other' pilot as the baby sitter.
Interestingly, the pass/fail rate on F/O training for former cadets is EXACTLY the same as those from GA and the military.
