"1500 hours on basic airplanes with no or little automation,ideally flown as an instructor constantly practicing stalls and basic maneuvers are a background that no AFDS protection can substitute. Stop P2F and enforce such rule worldwide or more and more people will die. If I had to start an airline I would only hire pilots with FI rating and experiencdr. The US are as usual leading..just follow and take geniuses with no real skills and no qualities other than daddy's money out of airliner cockpits ."


With you there , but, the problem is the "suits"/ accountants ain't gonna let it happen, as FO's are now a revenue source too, and, well, one or two crashes every couple of years is still affordable . . . right ?
