So in what way are the 135 and 145 representative of the front-line types?
They are shiny and new (unlike much of the front-line) and very representative of what a pilot might fly in commercial ops but military??
Lots of bells and whistles on the aircraft (which I'm led to believe the students won't actually get to use) and pretty powerful (again unlike much of front-line ops where performance is often an issue) so what are you actually teaching them.
As for the qualifications for supervisors - with mainly the same people being employed under the new system, how is that going to be better than the outgoing one?
