It just concerns me that there are people in the RHS of an airliner with people in the back, with very little experience! but with the know it all attitude that a 'big integrated school provides'. A recipie for disater I think.
Come on, Integrated schools have been churning out qualified pilots for decades, and how many UK registered aircraft disasters can you think of that has been blamed on the fact that the F/O had no real P1 time?
Not really a recipe for disaster is it. By the way Im modular, and I dont think having a few extra hours plodding around at 90 kts puts me beyond the disaster line and into the safer more qualified pilot area, and the airlines dont take chances, if you can get through your training what ever way you do it, then a type rating, you are of a sufficient standard!
Listening to guys who have been flying as Cpts for years, eveyday is still a school day, there wil always be something to learn or a new experiance to learn from, you cant reach a point were you know everything about everything.
