After the crash, Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration put TransAsia's ATR pilots through oral proficiency tests on how to handle an aircraft during engine failure.

All but one of the pilots passed the tests, although some needed more than one attempt. The lone failure was demoted in rank to vice captain from captain.



This sounds a little off to me. Surely you don't get to be even a 'vice captain' if you can't handle a flame out situation?


Is there a desperate shortage of pilots in that part of the world? (Forgive me for asking)
