Thanks, BulletHead.

Reassuring to hear that there are good systems in place. I thought so.

But does every airline make such an effort to train its captains? I understand that progression to captain is now very fast in the UK/Ireland low-cost carriers, but do they offer such thorough training or is anything comprised?

I recently flew with Ryanair and crossed paths with the Captain on the way to the toilet. Let's just say he looked very young indeed to be in command.
