An example, Ryanair recently recruited a load of experienced pilots. The minimumrequirements for a type rating is 32-36 ish hours in the sim. FR elected to put them on the cadet course and they did 12 fixed base sims and 7 FFS which is approximately 80 hours inc test. My point is FR could have given them the minimum but didn’t.
It's not just children under 12 that are the issue. If you are on a plane when an evacuation is ordered, you will likely try and find your partner / teenage children / relatives
before evacuating - which is a problem.
To quote the Royal Aeronautical Society report: "Operators should not charge for family members to sit together. This is especially important in an emergency situation such as evacuation, decompression or air turbulence when adult assistance and supervision of children is likely to be of paramount importance."
