Yes certainly need to improve on standards
Heard about a FO in Cabinda Angola who was upgraded to Captain after only a 1 hour check flight which just involved 6 circuits without formalised training.Worryingly he was than told to fly the in the left hand seat and I quote " to get comfy".this from the DFO Fly540 Angola.He naturally refused as he didnt want to "bend the rules" subsequently let go.
Yes this lot certainly need someone to bring up standards and safety.but if the DFO and manager of the Angolan bunch are still there involved then I very much doubt it.
