Ha! you're funny Max
To a number of other contributors and the whole indignation about standards. A simple question really, if JetStar can get away with less Sims ,cyclics and training as the Regulations and the Regulator allow them to ,why can't or won't Qantas!Surely there must be a huge cost imput to Qantas in being forced to train more.
then to try and justify BKK golf course:
The flight crew didn't use an adequate risk management stategy for the approach and landing, the error was primarily due to the absence of appropriate company procedures and training.
-Company-published information, Deficient.
-Procedures and training of crew ,Deficient in numberous areas.
So which is it Max, are the gods better trainied or not ??
Hope the insurers are'nt reading this.
BTW, speaking of old chestnuts, do you really believe QF do more checks per year than JQ, or are they just less sims more often ?
