New copilot...?

How do airlines train a new copilot who just got his CPL...?
Very carefully...!

(wide body only) - You still are among the people believing "bigger is harder"...?
Well, wide body are generally easier and certainly more stable airplanes.
The "size" has little to do.
Just need to learn to taxi with the mind of 18 wheel semi-truck driver.
Don't keep nose wheel on yellow centerline of a narrow taxiway 90º turn...!
For me, the 747 was the easiest plane to learn to fly...
Let him try a V1 engine cut in a Learjet 24 (in the plane, not simulator).

Low time co-pilots...?
Well, I have seen some 500 hrs (?) CPL in the RHS of Cargolux 747-200s.

Happy contrails
