TINTIN, I'll try and be nice
For starters, scared, concerned or anxoius are not always the same.
Scared is reserved for when really really bad sh!t happens eg - beyond the scope of the emergency section of the POH.
I reserve
concerned for things like oil pressure fluctuations, lightening at night without radar and
anxious for the night before a renewal.
Do we press on into questionable weather or turn back.
What we call questionable in GA varies widely with what you are likely to consider questionable flying a S340.
Do we let a group of drunk people board our plane!
I hope so, especially if they're gonna be serving more free stuff in flight.
Will young cadets really have these experiences in a simulator?
Probably not but after at least three or so years in the RH seat of the same a/c type each working day, with proficiency checks etc, one would assume that by the time they move to the left, they have a fair idea of what's going on and what they are likely to encounter.
( now what was this thread about again? anyone? )
