Hi,
BOAC is a really good chap but, unfortunately, has not enjoyed an Airbus type rating course.
He will soon I'm sure but, in the meantime, let us forgive his neandethal mutterings.
sorry mate.
It's no doubt (for pilots and general public) that the Airbus airliners are very sophisticated aircrafts stuffed with modern technology materials
Now .. the question is ..
Sophistication = simplification ?
If the answer is NO
Why it's seem's that many airlines have not very sophisticated programs of formations (schooling) and high training for their pilots ?
How it can be that a general opinion is that in general the training and formation are on the down slide .. and in the same time .. the aircrafts are on the up slide of sophistication ?
And what is the response of the officials bodies for this ? (regulators .. laws makers ... etc ..)
It is now the aircraft industry corporates and banks who are regulating the air transport ?
