Gilles, do you have any hard evidence, other than speculative, that the PTF incident rate is higher than non PTF guys with the same experience in the commercial airline environment. The last study by the Australian authority did not support your claims and as far as I can see, there is no evidence that PTF represents any greater danger, other than on the wallet..

Finally about the safety of low time pilots. If well trained low time candidates are just as safe as the others, why not put two low time guys together in the same flight deck? If that argument that they are safe was true, they would. But they don't. And never will.
I have been a commercial pilot for more than 21 years, well before PTF, this cockpit experience rule has always been there, I am not sure of the point, flight two crew decks have always had Captains and FOs??

Basic question.. why Name and Shame? what's the goal here?
