My company has a LOT of new ab initio pilots on the right seat these days. Had a good laugh yesterday as on of them had his first sector and couldn't find a way how to close the cabin door...Eventually the pilots called maintenance to close the door (the captain was thinking about a technical problem with the door and not a human error of the fresh F/O in this case).
Anyway, even all rampworkers did look at it with disbelief, we are glad our company give this opportunity to these young guys. I just guess they need more "how to close the dam'n door" sim training.
