How does this punish flightcrew?
Airlines have to give us more/better training.
Win win
Unfortunately isn't always a win win ... depends on the airlines and in some cases it'll be lose lose (especially when the airline is not performing good)!
- In any economic down turn allowing to raise the standards will automatically imply the possibility to sand pilots home for stupid reasons.
- More training doesn't signify higher quality of pilots ... an the military are master in that! (if you don't meet the minimum standard in a certain time you are out!)
- There is no selection process in the civilian sector ... if you have money to afford an ATP and a line training on a Boeing or Airbus then you are a pilot! Self-sponsor TR are probably good for the TRTO wallet but really bad for the pilot market. And on the long run also the TRTO will not have their revenue ...
- The P2F is probably good for the airline, because the RHS seat pays the LHS seat pay-check, but safety is inevitably reduced. The moment you loose a plane with 150 POB, the day after you are out of business.
- The box is pretty much the same ... once you've learned the tips & tricks ... you might change the airport but other then that ... every three months the same old dance!
- Multiple contemporary emergency aren't realistic so not to be consider ...
