They are trained to go into the right hand seat of a fully automated cockpit with a full set of SOP's defining up to the point of going for a dump.

Airmanship and PIC skills arn't really a feature of thier training. The mangment of the systems and the proccess of the flight they are very good at.

But give them an aircraft and ask them to fly from A to B even in CAVOK and still wind and your asking for trouble. They haven't done a single minute of unsupervised flying in their course unless they bothered to get a SEP class rating and flew privately post license issue.
