Privet, Ivan Ivanovich!
Let me disagree with you on some view of point.Of course,the standart of pilots extre-
mely high,but of pilots with experience more
then 20 years of flight job.The more younger
people who began to fly after disintegration
the Soviet Union they have highly average
training,especially in basic knowledge of
flight's rules.Because not yet enough of fi-
nance support from government and not yet
great interest from teachers of Flight Schools.I can compare two system of education
because for a long time I flew several types
of Russian aircrafts and now hold ATP lisence
The great threat to air safety left on
previous level,because main reason of almost
all accidents was and remain the human factor
Although Russian and Western aviation
safety specialists agree the risks to get
into disaster in Russia have decreased in
last years because decreased in few times
numbers of flights on the domestic airlines.
