The problem
The problem is not with Airbus. If there is a market then someone will make money supplying the market. There is a shortage of highly trained pilots with experience. The bean counters know it it way too expensive to hire them so they move toward a cadet who gets 200 hours in a single with checklist use and CRM thrown in. Sometimes with verbiage geared to a specific airline then thrown into a right seat of a 330. Taught to use autopilot and FMS extensively there he sits for ten years. Moves to left seat and never really mastering the visual aproach from a downwind. He is not below standard. However the standards have lowered and automation enables this to happen. The odds of this pilot EVER getting into a situation that he has never seen in a sim is rather remote. The insurance companies know this, so do the bean counters. He may never really need to fly the thing. Ever. Personally I would not want to pull back on the stick to arrest a nose down attitude and have no affect but hey, the machine is smarter than me.....right?
No sir, the problem is not with Airbus...
