Instant engineer. Just add water.. Yep you have hit the nail on the head there...I've had the opportunity to "work" beside a few of the "New" ones and it scares me what they actually know(NOT) other then how to pass the exam. With regards the A320 when they were asked to do some trouble-shooting on Major systems they had no idea and relied entirely on using the TSM..(The TSM is a guide and not the "Bible" that they believed it was, Yes it gives you a "Sign-off" for problems,where did Airbus get the information from ??,who said all the correct "Fixes" were passed on the Airbus ??)Experience can't be taught out of a book.
