You know it's interesting swh, that the original ATOG proposal didn't have the phrase "or by instruction" in it when originally proposed. Just one area where the proposal needed to be "massaged" in order to get it past the scrutineers! You didn't write it did you?
You postulate that CASA have got it right
. Well if they have in fact got it right, then why aren't REX employing this system now? Why are REX sitting their command candidates in the LHS for up to 400 hours, because they have no pre-existing command experience. Wouldn't it be easier to simply have them log the ICUS from the RHS and not tie up a training Captain untill such time as their minimum requirement for the training component comes up
Despite what other airlines do (HCAOC, quite different you know), this is after all a REX thread!
