So could we all agree that it is possible to train a 140 hour Pilot to fly an Airbus safely? In my perfect world, I’d like to see these low hour pilots receive extra training, at least for their first 2 years, in the form of a monthly simulator session to let them practice V-1 cuts, raw data approaches, and other skills in an non retribution environment. These sim sessions would be pure training and practice. This would allow them to gain experience and confidence while not exposing paying passengers to possible incidents. My airline offers such a program to pilots who request it, regardless of rank or experience. You can request a sim session every 6 months for pilot proficiency. Get in the simulator and basically practice anything you’d like for a few hours.
