Spannersatcx, I appreciate your point on basics but as I said, if you follow the manual and there is an "old git" to oversee then that is where we are today.
Comparing the 200 hour approved course pilot is exactly the same. He/She will rely on the "old Gits" like us in the left seat .
Problem comes when we are not there any more and the are looking to someone with the same background only around longer. It is happening with flight crew now, it will happen in Engineering soon.
What can we do? We have to trust them.
They can point to the boy in the right seat with 300 hours. If you are not happy, then don't take the aircraft and explain it to your boss.
