To say one flying hour in a RYR aircraft is worth 2 in any other airline is deluded. RYR are not the only operator to fly into tricky airfields. In anycase, NDBs are flown in LNAV anyway, so how is that difficult?
He did say 'major airline'. Anyway, its not all LNAV NDB's. We prob have a larger percentage of visual, Circle To Land, Narrow Runway operations than most operators in Europe. After all, I don't see many other operators of fully loaded 738's at most of the back of beyond places we fly into.
Not saying we are better than the next guy, just we might have more exposure. With enough practice any pro pilot can carry out the above proficiently.
