In reference to the AF447 accident, “Horses**t”. You clearly haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. The icing up of all the probes resulted in the auto pilot automatically disconnecting. Without reliable information from the FMGEC’s they can’t perform their task. What happened after that is the direct result of poor training and poor training is a direct result of every airline trying to cut costs to the bone.
Pilots, nowadays do not have good skills.
If this is the case generally, why is that? It certainly the case in your part of the world where it has been common practice for a few years now to put kids with f**k all experience into the right hand seat of B737’s and A320’s and dumbing down the level of experience in the cockpit as a whole. After all you can pay a pilot a lot less if they are green behind the ears.
They push buttons, and when something wrong happen, they feel lost and unaware of the situation.
Might be the case for your pimply faced 19 year old but for an experienced crew with the proper training you are again talking horses**t.
Why do you think they put 19 y/o in shiny jet now ? It's simple, because the job has become a "simple" job for young boys who barely understand principle of flights.
Again “HORSES**T”. Airlines particularly in Europe where they have even stooped as low as making these 19 year olds pay them to fly, it’s all about a cost cutting. Accountants are running airlines these days and they are dictating what experience levels they want in the flight deck. They have no idea of the capabilities of automation when serious malfunctions occur and those that do know in flight Ops management aren’t going to say anything because of all the bonuses to be had with all the cost cutting. It’s all about greed.
Now it's expensive though. But be aware that the day, it will cost cheaper, the industry will not hesitate to make it true.
An airline does not hire pilots for dreaming boys and to make them pleased. It's because arilines have no choice....
Spoken like a true management troll or "self loading freight" with no f**king idea.
