Sales versus training

Just a thought but when Airbus sold the Libyans this fleet of new aircraft what care did they take over the training of crews?

Was the training carried out in house or outsourced?

Which Airbus department carries the biggest weight, sales or training?

Some us, including me, have become very adept at blaming the crews when a new aircraft flown by a rookie crew from the developing world crashes.

The usual banter, Camel drivers, Mercedes etc.

I think they deserve a better deal, perhaps Airbus and Boeing need to make sure the customer can actually operate the aircraft under local conditions before they let them go..... and sometimes maybe they should insist on more training
