Ever get the feeling that Maui has never flown for an airline in Asia or the desert.
Mate, you may be an ace and your company may be full of good training, but there are airlines out there with guys in the left seat of widebodies with a couple of thousand hours TT with a guy in the right seat with 200 hours TT who have both been put through a sausage factory training school. Trust me, the last thing you want is them flying around the pattern in poor viz at 400 feet. The smarter companies know this.
