It would represent a pretty seismic shift in the aspirations and expectations of the European wannabe fraternity - and no doubt 3/4 of the wannabes would kick and scream and fight against it because lets face it, it's clearly obvious from the continued rise of P2F that most of you don't want to go and fly lighties when you have even the glimmer of a fool's fantasy of a chance of flying a big aircraft, at any price - but just like a big spoonful of cod liver oil it would ultimately be for your own good
Self Improvement is dead and buried Luke. And until the day we have some sort of experience cap on those transiting to commercial operations, then it will remain so. This is categorically not the way FTOs are teaching any longer. They are telling wannabes that the airlines want MPL type candidates, they are teaching students to pass flight tests, not fly aeroplanes; they are moulding crews who are technically aware yet in terms of procedure and handling are completely challenged to put in kindly. It is very evident in the simulator. It's not that these guys don't want to fly lighties as you put it; they don't believe that they have to. They are all too aware that it gets you nowhere presently. Whose fault is that?
