So lets review this...
Imagine that I'm recruited by XYZ airlines with the following:
- ATPL.
- Type rating.
- Medical.
- Verifiable history of prior experience (log book & references).
I then go on to pass the LPC / OPC in the sim(s), and also pass all ground-school courses & line-training, as required & defined in the company Operations Manual.
Nb. The co-pilots I fly with are, likewise, similarly qualified, albeit with maybe less overall experience.
By the time I'm flying the line, all the required training, experience & recency items have been ticked. The requirements of the Ops Manual have been fully complied with (
this being a manual which is certified / approved / overseen by the local CAA; as is the whole operation).
One day I take-off, have a technical problem with the aeroplane and, for whatever reason, it appears that I don't correctly diagnose the problem (
it happens!), following which all on-board die.
Given that all due diligence (
by the management & the local CAA) was achieved for my (
& my FO's) recruitment, training & subsequent oversight... whom is now responsible for me crashing?
- The local Management?
- The local CAA?
- The local Engineers?
- The aircraft manufacturer?
- The training providers?
- All the above?
- None of the above?
- Well, who?
