Bubbers44, I just can't let you say that Bonin killed off all those people because he shouldn't have been signed off as an FO. I would agree that the airline and the French Regulatory Agency killed off all those people because they signed off Bonin and Robert as FO's.
It isn't fair to blame the pilots for the lack of training they received. In this airplane, you truly don't know what you don't know. The FCOMs are not adequate to reach a level of true understanding, a situation which leaves it up to the training department pass along a great deal of information.
There are numerous links on this site to the Airbus Flight crew training manuals. Those FCTM's include info not included in the FCOMs. I had never seen a FCTM until I clicked a link on this very site. That's the best example I can give to illustrate that all info is not available to the trainee.
