I wonder if you were so against the whole notion of 250 hour pilots near the controls of a large jet when you were one of them? Before you were a very senior captain at a worldwide airline on ‘your’ heavy Airbus. How many accidents have there been in the last 20 years attributed to FO inexperience?
