I haven't read the whole of this thread, but it seems that people are saying that low houred FOs are not up to the required standard.
If that is the case, should we not be up in arms against those who a) selected them and b) employed them?
Any pilot new to a company will be undergoing a sim check and line training.
Perhaps there is a problem higher up in the company.
Perhaps the Training Captains are giving the trainee the benefit of the doubt when they shouldn't.
Perhaps the Training Captains are not adhering to the strict standards required.
Perhaps Training Captains are not intervening when they should.

Every airline has a system in place so that pilots are correctly trained for that airline's operation. The CAA oversee this. Therefore it would seem that in fact there is a problem with Training Captains and the CAA?

Just a thought....
