PAL is no small airline to start with, so i can say that training dept has long time ago polished its System.(some unperfect areas i'll presume, but the last time i was there i would consider it within Standard).
its either Pilots forgotten their Basics or Pilots never learned the Basics from the start.
Cheers,

Hi C1052
I can't believe that someone can retire as just an F/O. You would think that they would have progressed to Capt by that time. But i guess to each his own. He probably just needs a refresher to polish him up.
Cheers mate
