no chips here buddy, just stating my opinion, happy doing what i'm doing and find it laughable that the user pays industry ruining ICUS paying cadet scabs think they'll get a free ride off daddies cheque book, guess again (all my personal opinion).
Crikey! Thanks for clarifying your completely subjective opinion. Here we are arguing the pros and cons of low time pilots and you bring in who funded their training? Why would anyone take anything you've said now as anything
but a bitter and twisted rant?
One of our captains was involved in ab initio cadet training for an airline and freely admitted that the pilots produced wouldn't have been able to go out and do a charter flight in a light twin, but they fitted well into the airline system.
More specialised and narrowly focused training is the way things are going to be in future. Emergencies will have been practised in the sim rather than experienced for real in pistons and turbo props.
Agree. Though the emergencies experienced in light twins are very different to those you'll experience on a heavy jet, and that includes the way things are managed.
