Sorry but you have no idea about what you are talking about. As a former Training Captain at Eagle there were very good reasons for the implementation of this policy. A lot of new hires at Eagle had very limited night experience, new hires employed over summer would not have any night landings during their training, and night landings at WK, AP, GS, WU etc. are very different to landing at AA, WN or CH.

With regard to the Captains not being Training Captains. The point there is they are not in a position to give instruction in night landings. There has never been a problem with taking control.
