It is interesting that the subject of low hour f/0's is being mixed in with the Girona topic.
This leads to the impression that the Girona f/o was in some way lacking.
The majority of posters cannot know that.
My original post herein lambasted low hour f/o's straight from training school. OK, so I've flown with f/o's with over 10000 hours who should'nt be allowed in a cockpit, but they are few and far between. The big problem (and I
am in a position to speak from experience) is low hour f/o's with little experience, maturity, humility and all of the other ingredients which go to make up a colleague who helps rather than hinders.
For goodness sake, some of the guys I've seen can't land the aeroplane anything but roughly on a calm, CAVOK day. Throw in some wind, heaven forbid a crosswind, and watch out!
The system needs sorting out by the CAA (wishful thinking, then).
Sorry to go off topic (or is it?).
