So when you upgrade to captain in ryanair you are not require to make management decisions during the 4 day sim training?
jayc, to be honest, If you want me to believe than an FO is more qualified than a CAPTAIN to train other pilots just because he pushes bottoms on the box you wont succeed. If you tell me than the FO at ryan are former jet or turboprop captains first I can agree with you. Off course than a Captain is more qualified to teach than an FO. A 3000 P1 Capt pushing bottoms is more qualified than a 3000 hs P2. The captain has a lot more experience than the FO. On an upgrade a more qualified guy (CPT) should train a less qualified guy (FO or Prospective captain). He has more to offer to the trainee than an FO.
Now I understand why Ryan wants to put Cabin crew as first officer, He has FO more qualified than their own Captains.
