there is a minimum standard currently and that has been used across the world and considered acceptable for well over a decade - Does this international standard need to be lifted?
Is there really an ‘international standard’?
Or is that just a nice concept that some passengers and very few industry professionals believe?
Is the same standard required to check to line as a narrow body Captain in America/ Canada/ France/ Chad/ Brazil/ Fiji/ Russia/ New Zealand/ South Africa?
Or do the standards differ?
How about we have an ICAO/EASA/FAA combined sim centre in Honolulu where we all go every twelve months to demonstrate generic basic standards and our respective Airlines can do the intervening six month sessions. Surfboards mandatory.
