Considering the issues we are having in our own backyard with training and the MPL scheme, I'd suggest low cost carriers and their cost pressures struggle to produce a product that isn't totally reliant on aircraft technology buffering against vast levels of inexperience.

The system needs to be turned on it's head, from Airbus right down to the line captain who doesn't have the confidence or faith in the system, to encourage his young 150 hour protege to practice some hand flying, raw data, NPA or visual approach.

Oh, and where's the jet upset training these days? Despite issues of sim fidelity Airbus could put a package together. They have before with Boeing and the driver was inexperience in jet airliner handling ( specifically targeting inexperience from the civilian background and overly aggressive from a military background ).
