How do your airlines(wide body only) train a new copilot who has just got his CPL??
My airline new policy to train new copilot (A300-600) on revenue flight with only one flight instructor and the trainee.The new pilot got his CPL then took about half a year in the simulator then passed transition course for A300-600. After finishing school flight (aircraft), the CAA issued A300-600 type rating, then the new pilot will go on flight training with only one instructor pilot. I feel that in the flightdeck there should be another real copilot, just in case of anything happens to the instructor pilot. How you people train the new pilot that just got his CPL to become a copilot on the widebody aircraft? Thanks.
