O/T: MPL Training...
The lack of hand-flying experience was discussed a page or so back... some of you here are Captain's seeing new F/Os. Have any here experienced crew trained according to the (relatively) new MPL licensing scheme? These crew will NOT have necessarily been through what I would call the conventional PPL -> etc route, and may have "learned" to fly in a simulator. Entirely.
If I understand the MPL correctly, an F/O may be in the right-hand seat on a fare-carrying loaded commercial flight after no more than a total of 12 take-off and landings (of which 6 can be in a simulator...).
What hope is there given that level of experience?
