What airline around the world isn't in continuous training mode? I haven't seen Alliance come up in any ATSB reports recently and given they are heavily audited by QF and VA on safety (and OTP) it's probably a good indication that there are processes in place to make the operation safe. I think a lot of people forget the large amount of expats that came home and are still coming home, plus numerous operators for the QF and VA side that are at Alliance. The experience in the ranks on both the F100 and Ejet is significantly greater than people realise. I'm pretty certain the entire fleet aren't taxing around like snails but if some amoung them are, then theres probably a good reson.
