"culture of inexperience that has been trained into them".
What a load of drivel. Anyone who has done any study in this area will tell you that after 3000 hours in a role there is little discernable difference in a pilots performance across a test group. I take it since you were one to leave Kaptin that all experience left with you and your friends. Sounds very plausable. In Europe of course quick upgrades are part of the scenery are they part of this culture as well? I would imagine that the comments from the Virgin C&T staff are more about continued agendas rather than reality. I take it that the pilot off a Dash 8 does not have that inexperience culture so after 12 months basking in the experience culture they will be right for an upgrade. What a load of... It it all about the individual and their ability to upgrade . Oh I thought that there had been only a few guys actually checked out in the sim at this stage so an objective opinion is always nice.
