Rest assured his current assignment means he's not likely to come into contact with impressionable trainees any time soon.
As usual, ASFKAP it misinformed.
We are in the process of selecting local turbopropeller First Officers for upgrade to a heavy widebody jet.
Now, these guys (and one gal, a quite pretty one too) are in the one to two thousand hour range, so these folks are allowed to ask reasonable questions, and they will receive reasonable answers.
Howsomever...the 200 hour 'wonder' has no previous airline flying background, knows next to nothing about line flying (only having just completed a type conversion course) so....the Training Captain
says, the trainee brand new First Officer
does as he/she is told...period.
End of story.
This is the way SQ trained their original First Officers onto the line in the B707 airplane, and....when finished with the line training, they could make quite reasonable decisions and...fly the airplane remarkably well, considering their previous very limited experience.
This is called...train
hard, operate easy.
A proven concept...something I expect ASFKAP would absolutely know
nothing about, because...he ain't an airline pilot.
Surprise, surprise.
