My issue was with MaxAB suggestion that one should be completely competent if they left the training college with a piece of paper 'BEFORE' they go line flying..that's rubbish.
Fliion on your 777 transition you did a Skills Test and also Zero Flight Time, you then got your rating, ie you displayed a satisfactory competence, you are 777 qualified. The regulator is happy for you to trot off and fly a 777....line training is defined as route familiarisation only....that airlines (EK) give you more is a (good) bonus. If you can't display that competence specifically in handling, you get additional training to regain it. How hard is that to understand...? On a scale of 1 -5 where 2 requires additional training (fail) and a 3 is adequate, what would you score the Asiana trainee for handling?
