The fact that LOC-I has developed as a phenomenon proves the industry has a fundamental training problem. UPRT is only the sticking plaster. The industry needs to treat the disease.
The FAA has already come to the view that hours in the logbook is one way to fix the problem. I think the evidence is clear that MPLs, 250 hour jet pilots with more time in the simulator does not create a more competent pilot, it creates a pilot with a skill set that is suited to normal operations and nothing more. The Inquiry into pilot training also recommended that jet F/O's have a minimum of 1500hours but this was dismissed by Albo and friends.
