Shaun, I wasnt poo pooing single pilot ops. On the contrary I have the utmost respect for people who do this kind of flying. I was referring to dealing with emergencies in a typical multicrew jet. Take 2 new FO's, one straight from Gatwick with his still wet blue book, the other from his 2000 hours in a King Air, and put them both through the same Boeing/Bus TR course and give them the same SOP's and vital memory actions to learn. Which one will handle the engine failure post V1 best?? Some on here would argue without question the 2000 hour guy would deal with it better....why?
Yes, im playing devils advocate here.....,off course its the 'outside the box' situtions which crop up that the 2000 hour pilot has the experience to deal with. I dont think anyone would argue that point.
