Guys, thanks for the reply but the point I am making (albeit poorly) is that I can't see any difference.
Just because overnight, an FO (who previously was not allowed to land at Airport XXXX) has been given a slip of paper that shows he is now a Captain makes no differerence. If all it takes is a simulator sign-off, then why couldn't he/she do this when he was an FO.
I just cant see why a "Captain Only landing" (which is designated as such due to safety purposes) remains when a newly promoted Captain can just jump in an d be allowed to land there having only "observed" previously.
the first visit for a Capt being cleared will be under the supervision of a training Capt.
this sounds more likely
