The practice of putting a student pilot in the right seat of a commercial jetliner is troubling and its implications need addressing
Why oh why are people still going on about this??? It can be observed in the report that the F/O had a few hundred hours total time when he started flying for BY, BUT!!!!!! he had well over 1000 hours at the time of the accident, so why are people reffering to him as a low hour F/O??? He would have had 1-2 years experience! Where in the report does it comment on this??? If people want to discuss the pros and cons of low hour pilots please start another thread (or search for the past ones!) as people who have not read the report will start believing things that were not reported as factors!
