So what is happening now is not mitigating risk. It's trying to make the best of the position they backed themselves into.
Do, I agree with you as well. But this again is out of Training (managemet's) hands. NCC and OPS management say how many to train and training has to deliver. With mitigating I meant what training management is able to do.
Don't take me wrong. I am not trying to defend malpractice here. I am just saying that the shooting is often going into the wrong direction (training).
It's like the pax that is held back by Security, has problems at check-in, didn't get the miles upgrade that he was asking for and lots of other things not working and then offloads at the flight attendants, just because they are available.
