Not quite the same, but seems to be similar circumstances with low time-on-type issues.

The aircraft operator reported that the check captain who flew with the copilot during the initially reported hard landing, held the view that the copilot’s concerns had been adequately resolved.

The aircraft operator had identified a number of issues in relation to the reporting by pilots of training difficulties to senior management, and with training on the 717 being overseen by the Manager Pilot Training and Checking, who was responsible for pilot training across all aircraft types. Although there was no dedicated 717 training manager, the operator reported that the Head of Pilot Training 717 was the technical captain for the 717 fleet. Together with the 717 check and training captains, the Head of Pilot Training 717 was available to flight crews to discuss any training issues.
