2) This assessment IS pass/fail
3) This process overseen by and deemed suitable by the regulatory authority
4) This process currently provides a pool of suitably qualified and experienced individuals who will meet the company's needs for most if not all command vacancies for the next few seasons at least
Yet you still have people wanting to change their minds during a go around, fact, making up their own speed profiles and generally operating in a non standard fashion, fact, FOs thinking that they are the captain just because they're PF and they've passed the command assessments, fact. If these FOs can pass the command process why don't they continue to operate that way?
Not sure about you SR but I don't believe the command process at any airline, least of all Flybe, is infallible and your facts certainly don't refute that.
Anyway the point is that Flybe promote some people who shouldn't be and, therefore, decent FOs will find it harder and more time consuming before they get a look in.
