It was said that the 737 was a better jet to train on as the TC was able to intervene on their controls in case the trainee didn't do what was required at the time it was required. This report suggests that is not the case. The real problem though is the sub-contracting out of the endorsement training. Its not that the 3rd party contractor doesn't have the required skills, they would prefer to teach to the operator's SOP's but the airlines just want the aircraft type on the pilot's license and they will sort out the rest during revenue operations. So any bad habits that might have developed may not be noted until events such as this happen. The other problem is that the manufacturers have a fly by numbers mindset with landings which simulator's can accommodate but real world conditions do not.
