Hi,
If you look at those two young F/O (less than 40), they obviously never flew anything else than Airbus (A320 and A330/40) after their basic training. Hence, what would be the point to say in FCOM: if you are in direct law, you are now flying a "conventional aircraft"... when they may have no idea about what it is really like?
Some questions I'm asking myself at this point.
Woooaaa
The next question is...
Why Airbus bother to make available a "direct law" if the "new pilots generation" are not able to pilot the plane in that law ?
Is "direct law" can be crudely translated as "direct crash" ?
