The standard in Gandalf is quite good according to who trained you. It's as if there were two airlines in one.

As far as Air Europe-Volare goes, friends who fly for them have told me it was better when Air Europe was on its own...but I must say these are only opinions.

As far as copilots go any real pro will recognize that the Captain, First Officer and the Flight Attendants form a team whose goal is to transport pax from A to b in safety. To quote a more knowledgeable source than myself. After the accident on Mt Erebus the New Zealand Air Line Pilots Association (NZALPA) quoted:

"...it is the inherent responsibility of every crew member, if he be unsure, unhappy or whatever, to question the pilot in command as to the nature of his concern. Indeed, it would be going too far to say that, if a pilot in command were to create an atmosphere whereby one of his crew members would be hesitant to comment on any action then he would be failing in his duty as pilot in command."

So chaps team work is the name of the game!
