Well : his instructor will start smoking again during the "students" training sessions.
Can you imagine being in the sim for , lets say a year ?
Instructors can change during the sessions.
That is when there are sufficient
volunteers (which i can't imagine anyway)
And think about the student , with only theoretical exams for a long while and then a-hell-of-a-lot sim sessions .
Actually the system now is perfect !
Learn on cheap small planes ! While in the real blue.
No hassle for the airlines instructors , there are a lot of light planes instructors who know exactly where they are talking about.
Actually we get the applicants for the jobs nicely presented , the only need is a minimum of 7 sim sessions and he/she is type-rated. But of course we give some extra sessions. NO bother at all.
Again i believe:
-There is no Sim availability for those extreme long courses !
-There are no airline TRI's enough willing to do it.
-The Sim is way too expensive.
-The end-result student will remain a student for appr.5 years even after type
rating....
-The line traing will take another year or so.
But it is good to think about it anyway before flushing it through the toilet........
Cheers
