767 captain : I do not quite follow your reasoning.
Captcaveman mentioned the fact that the F/O was ex-air force and you categorically said he was not and argue we should not denigrate the guys and pass incorrect info.
But in fact the Dutch report says page 9 :
The first officer had moved from the Turkish Air Force to Turkish Airlines in June 2008. He hadgained about 4000 hours of flight experience in the air force. For the first officer, the flight was part of a training ‘line flying under supervision’. It was his 17th line flight under supervision and his first
flight to Schiphol airport.
Later in the report said he had 44h on type.
The Safety pilot is reported there to have 720h on type and was 28 years old.
The capt was repported to be 54 years old with nearly 11.000 h on type.
Are you saying that info is incorrect ?
I know also a bit Turkey, and the report info is correct, I am, for one encline to believe that in this combination, nobody in that cockpit was going to question the Capt taking over and actions thereafter.
