Question....
What may one infer regards their companys attitude towards safety when a regular line pilot asks for more sim time, for no other reason than to become a better pilot, to practise responses to scenarios he has not otherwise seen before and is denied the request?
Is there a company out there that would accede to such a request?
The hegemony of political correctness is far-reaching.
Comment....
The simple argument that suggests the yardstick by which one is good at his job has a direct and unique correlation with one's experience is amusing.
For me, its the guys who get the job done whatever the TAF, and inspite of their experience, who determine the distinction between mediocrity and greatness.
I personally have learned from the report and thats all that counts.
