Of course it’s ’not their fault’, it’s bad training.

Nothing to do with being too young thinking they knew it all.

Inexperienced with both long haul flying and life in general.

Its today’s society blame someone else.

Good riddance.

Last year, Virgin outsourced its training program. However, following numerous complaints from both trainees and trainers (as you would know), the external provider was discontinued.
As a result, the training quality suffered. Holding the pilots responsible for any deficiencies, rather than acknowledging the lack of continuous monitoring and oversight by
Virgin throughout the type rating course, fails to address the core issue.
