Possibly time for the regulators to step in to scrub the Multi Engine Licence and insist on 1500 hours of GA or 1500 hours of mixed GA and light twin turbo first officer experience, anything to develop the natural reactions to an aircraft with the potential to fall out of the sky if not attended to properly?
Agree whole-heartedly. Not that I fly as a passenger anymore. But when I did, I was always a trifle uneasy sitting down the back knowing on a long flight the captain was asleep in his rest bunk and a sprog second officer was in the left seat and a first officer in the right seat. In the case of the Air France A330 accident it became the second officer's "leg" and the first officer merely watched as the second officer stuffed up in weather.
