ive been fortunate enough never to have to work for a low cost carrier
Then how can you possibly comment on the standard of training in any LCC, anywhere? I work for a European LCC and the standard of training, both initial and recurrent, is excellent. More importantly, my colleagues in the LHS who have worked at legacy and charter outfits all over the world think the same, and they actually have a basis for comparison. I say again
ithinkso, you are generalising - what you state is not fact, it is your personal opinion.
the fact is you cant argue with statistics. since the low cost carrier model has appeared, they have consistently had a higher accident rate that their higher cost cousins.
Go find these statistics. It could take you some time to dig them up however - they don't exist. I'm just curious as to the reasons behind your unfounded prejudice towards LCCs. Do you view myself (and my 1500 colleagues) as inferior and incapable because I was trained by and am currently employed by an LCC?
