You just can't accept the facts can you, KapM? If the cull applied at the expense of junior pilots, how is it that quite a few of your so called heroes have been dropped and some very junior pilots picked up.
The 5% cull does not mean that the affected pilots were below standard as you wish to believe but that they were at the lower end of their peer group. So why would you want to include them when you had better pilots on other types, many of whom had been on the A320 before.
The new assessment system (PATS) has many checks and balances which would avoid the situation where a particular check captain took a dislike to a particular pilot. In fact the check pilots performance is monitored and moderated to smooth out the assessments of so called "hard bastards" and "soft touches."
No doubt you will seize on the above terms to further distort the facts. They were chosen to reflect the fact that there is a possible variation in assessments from one to another. An adverse assessment by one would be moderated by different assessments by several others.
Woomera,
Why is it that Kap M is permitted to continually indulge in personal attacks ( ex gutless applied to Kap X) with apparent impunity?
