I think the FO’s hours are irrelevant. You have pilots all across the world (in much larger aircraft also) who have similar entry level hours but don’t achieve these incidents month after month.
Do Virgin separate the Cadet program from the main pilot body in regards to check and training like Easyjet etc do?? Seems like the Check and Training department is overloaded.
This has been internally reviewed, and the good news is that due to the number of "issues" with cadets on the ATR, all "0 to hero" cadets will now go onto the 737 fleet.
