wow!!!!!
well, we germans are a pain in the bud, i know; but there are some of us who are actually legit; me, having worked 20 years for an international airline in the USA, have seen in my time more than once pilots who called themselves captains, but never actually flew the left seat; i guess when one passes the typeride, that qualifies; always was a mystery to me; there is an educational process, and airlines should, how it is customary in the USA, look at PIC time to hire new pilots; all this ab initio people don't have the background in my view to satisfy decision making requirements; that is in general; i can teach my dog to pass a sim check, but is he going the right way..... i don't think so.....
