I wont be so hard on you as Amos was. A Pilot who has say 3000 hrs has developed to a degree, airmanship. Not something seen on paper, but a developed sense of what is happening around them, a ability to pick up something that is not quite right, even though there is nothing to indicate that all is not well. This cannot be developed in 400 hrs, I doubt if it can be developed in a Sim, it can only be developed over a period of time by experience. It is invaluable in the job. A example was the Emirates flight out of MEL, that was not producing enough power for take off. A very experienced Captain would have felt that in his arse for want of a better word, long before his instruments told him what was happening, he would have gone for the brakes and had a slow look around to see what was happening, in other words airmanship or experience told him something was not right, right from roll. They did not and got themselves in a right ol fix, that was lucky not to turn into a prang. No pilot is born with that ability, it has to be learnt, some learn faster than others, but most develop it to a degree. A pilot with 400 hrs on a PAX jet is a accident waiting to happen, it is unfair and unjust to expect PAX to fly with such inexperience, and ask your self would you allow your family to be on such a aircraft. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these young pilots, but to teach them on jets is plain ridiculous, they belong on twins in the bush, to learn about themselves and learn how to fly and how to handle a situation. You cannot build a brick wall without a foundation, anymore than a young pilot should be placed in a situation of which he/she has little experience, and a planeload of innocent people sitting behind him/her. Utter madness. Air France is a perfect example.
