Ok so it did not take long for Fiji Airways to smash up their first A330.

It happened on landing.

Training has always been a bit suspect, trainers are selected not on ability but on being able to do what they are told from management with out question even when they know it is wrong. The lack of ability is proven as some trainers have left for other airlines and struggled to get their commands!

We were taught on the 737 by local trainers to do low drag approaches 250kts at 10 miles 1000 ft then start hanging the flap out. Gear was selected at 500 ft. It was madness.

Question I have is how long after the local captains did their A330 type rating did they then become training captains?
