His previous eight years were on the 320.

FO to LHS will have had the benefit of watching, learning and understanding FMA/VNAV/automation that cannot be fully downloaded in six weeks (heck it does things now that I get confused about sometimes - then again I'm no test pilot for sure)

You may be right but how will protective senior management and insurers react.

I suspect with caution.

Can you imagine the reputational risk with the media frenzy if we headlined an incident while a new DEC with no previous type experience (or heavy time) had a mishap?

Think of the "we told you so" positioning from German & Canadian vested interests.

Watch this space.
