The Training Captain in this article does not fear any Aviation Authority as he is financially sound and has nothing to lose. He has his ducks in a row and is able to go public without fear of losing out on a long and prosperous airline career.
He must be over 60 years old and its guys like this that will bring any shortfalls in the training system to light. We need more "whistle blowers" like him in the airline industry.
Airlines are relying on the "cadet" system so they can increase profits while reducing the cost of Pilots. There is not much else any bean counter can do on a balance sheet - the cost of Crew is the ONLY variable , until you have an incident like Asiana 214.
