Hard Landing

Well it did not take long for Fiji Airways to smash up their A330.

Airbus as you know is totally different from the Boeing which is the only type Fiji Airways have flown. Therefore proper training is essential.

Can someone answer this vital question.

How long after the local captains completed their A330 type rating, in weeks, went by before they became training captains???

I remember Training Captains converting from the 767 to 747 were instantly given training status on the 747, training was lousy as they did not know the aircraft. The boys in the training department bend the system for monetary gains. Hence not much of an airline left and 1 plane smashed up.
