Thumbs down

experience doesnt count because a copilot with 3000h or 200h on the bus do the same task, same SOP, same call out,...

the planes have changed. it s all computerized, and any newbie can learn to program a FMGC in a few hours.

after take off, press A/P, and the plane turn, climb, and descent by itself. it reduces its speed when adding flaps, and all you do is to put the gear down.

with cat 3B, no need to land manually.land in zero vis.

this is why a experimented pilot is not required nowadays.

once you got your 500h, you are out. thats the business.!!!

a shocking reality in fact, but this is how airlines make money.by adding pennies, they make big mega bucks,... time where copilots were paid is over.
