Chesty , why didnt they sack this guy if he was no good , training also includes testing !
In my time at Flybe i had the mis-fortune to fly with guys who i would not have given command of a wheelbarrow to , by the sound of it nothing has changed.
You got the hours/seniority you got promoted simple as that. I once positioned in a Dash8 which did two RTO's .The total combined flight time of the flightdeck was less than 2000 hrs.
Incidents such as the PGF one are bound to happen when there is pressure on the training dept to "get people through"
There are incidentally some very fine , experienced guys and gals at Flybe whose boots i am not fit to lace , so lets not tar them all with the same brush.
Seems to me that a solution that asks "the Capt to leave" is really ignoring the big picture of why it happenened in the first place.
I would have thought the CAA will start to get very interested if there is much more of this.
