The manufacturer,TRTO and the airline are the three agencies who impart type ratings. For the first timer in jet Airbus syllabus has Entry Level Training with eight sessions of simulator sessions. Out of which four sessions are without any automatics with minimum procedures. Actual training starts later. The problem is the minimum acceptable level varies with each organization. It's business as usual and if too many are turned away they loose customers who go somewhere else. So the best way is Airlines should conduct their own training to their satisfaction but even they have to make do from available talent and compromises are made. Even syllabi are altered to keep the cost down because in the commercial world the best Airline is the one which makes maximum profit and stays afloat. But if you see the incidents it's not necessary only lack of manual skill but in many even knowledge of automation is found wanting. In others operating indiscipline, lack of SA, inability to appreciate threat management are the causes.
