Oryxbollocks MFF
Oryxbollocks, you really mentioned the core of the problem of the MFF in QA, it is the recency that makes it unsafe practice.
How can you ask a pilot to fly once or twice a month on a new type with low total hours on that type and keep a safe standard?
And more than this…you ask them to fly another type extensively in between!
I talked with the only 3 instructors who are performing the MFF, one of them said it is OK (but he was in the office most of time), the other 2 said it is very dangerous and will stay dangerous till the roster is planned for 50/50 duty.
Do we have to suffer an incident to realize these facts?
P.S when the 2 instructors expressed their concern, the management said: "aha…do you want to cancel the MFF so you can enjoy flying only the A330? Forget it" !!!
Typical QA style.
No one really knows if they want the MFF or not? it looks like the management is divided between themselves over this project.
