What happened to training?
Our workplace has changed drastically latest since the elimination of the flight engineer. It's purest sarcasm while on steam planes like 747 classic, 707, 727, DC 10, Lockheed 1011 etc. with simple systems a qualified non pilot, called FE, did assist. Nowadays we have very complexe machines but are supposed to "learn" to operate them in a few weeks.... The "software" of these modern machines is often unknown even to our trainers, not to say on us, the operators. And this isn't an issue only at Airbus meanwhile....
