Are the new guys trained on enough system problems and emergencies in the simulator, to enable them to also both fly the plane and talk to ATC (during IMC climbout over high mountains in Kalispell, Montana, or the Alps...) while the ever-patient regular line Captain is very distracted by the "Center tank fuel not feeding", or "Cabin fails to pressurize" procedure etc, and WITHOUT any LNAV/VNAV/autothrottles?
Also, does the very high level of academia (Britain, Europe) studied for "foreign" licenses sometimes confuse the newer pilots' ability to improve situational awareness, i.e. clearway design, weather forecasting, now many Joules in continuous ignition (burner cans 4 and 7, or 5 and 8? ...how many angels can dance on the head of a pin)...?
