Well done SAA
Hi All, I'm back from detention, as early as June actually but I've been keeping a low profile. I couldn't resist replying on this thread. I'm glad I didn't start this one, perhaps that will save me from being chucked out of pprune this time around. Interesting to see that these topics do surface even though the so called politician has been gagged.
I think this sort of training is already taking place in France where the focus from the beginning is to train the pilot for a multi crew airline environment. It does make a lot of sense for airlines to save costs and for the students as they probably get indoctrinated in Airline Operating Procedures, Jet Engine Operations, Glass cockpits and the like. You at least do not have to deal with the unlearning. It certainly is the answer in this country and for SAA to be able to fast track transformation which has been steam driven thus far
Colin I salute you, keep up the good work
