Maybe a full review of pilot training and checking is in order in this country
I could not agree more.
A pilot with minimal experience who has gone through an excellent training system may well be suitable as an F/O.
The problem really lies with, which aviation company provides quality training, and just as important a quality check organization.
With third party endorsements, less than ideal line training and the pseudo checking what chance would a pilot with low hours have.
I used to believe that it was a fault within the company I was working for, now I sternly believe the entire Aus aviation industry is in a huge downward standards spiral, and it won't change until some poor bugger hits the bottom.
I will be writing to the good senator and offering inside information. If nothing else, it will have the hairs on his head standing up.
DM aviation consultant, hahahahahahahahaha
