The company is also now regularly sending S/Os on line training flights to Aus on 3 crew flights. This means a S/O on his first trip in the aircraft can be sitting in the seat for 2-3 hours with a line F/O while the training captain is “resting”(yes that has actually happened!). This must be a safety breach. It puts the aircraft in an almost single pilot operation for a third of the flight. Why do we have line training at all for S/Os if they are able to fly with a F/O straight away!!
Sending 2 S/Os on a ULH is also an absolute joke. It leads to one of the operating pilots sitting in for landing absolutely exhausted from doing the last duty before the descent and arrival. Is it going to take an accident for flight ops to stand up to these bean counting clowns and say this is just plain dangerous?
