BraceBrace,
it's not fair of you to jump to those sorts of conclusions because standards vary whatever the background.
The TRI's you refer to may be able to explain things a little easier to ab-intio's but that certainly doesn't indicate they'll be any safer pilots once they're on the line. Prior flight experience does feature in the equation too you know!
Able, but enquiring individuals with good CRM skills is what's actually required, and that applies to left or right hand seat occupants.
A valid post by Up and Down Operator by the way.
