Piltdown Man

But do you know? Are you willing to risk your life on that unproven hypothesis? On a person who has basically never been the captain of an aircraft? Integrated courses are bad enough, with the lack of true responsibility given to the pilot, but how much time would the graduate of an MPL pilot spend in command before taking command of a multi-engine jet? Or before taking over when the Captain is incapacitated due to illness?

No-one has tested this; it seems to be a response only to the demnds of the industry, not to the setting up of a course to teach real pilots.

Finally Gimli? Any answer?
