Stepclimb.A bit off topic..but Ill reply.
Not so long ago very many if not most copilots came to their first commercial job after many hundreds of hours instructing or doing taxi work.
They might not know very much about flying an airliner but basic airmanship and, above all, valuable experience had been gained in the air.
Believe you me, it is far FAR more stressful to fly with a newby who is brilliant at flying a simulator and knowing his SOPs than someone who has had some experience and already has a sound awareness.
fifty percent of FLYBEs pilots have only been there two years or less and that trend is set to accelerate wit Cheesy's latest charm offensives on the training schools.. It is for that reason I made the comment I did.
Glad to be out of it.
