Re "training" and "finest of...etc", has training changed to accomodate automation today or has the bottom line driven training to new lows in the expectation that automation will "look after the store"?
Just read through a B787 sales presentation from Boeing, time and again it mentioned potentials for reduced training. Definitely a point aimed at the bean counters. 8 days "differential training" from the 757/767.
Seem descent knowledge and training to proficiency has been thrown out.
