But, Captain Ansett, YOU are the Safety of an aircraft, or are you also insinuating maintenance problems? Besides SOP's, If you go as an contractor to a low cost airline, you do not expect them to train you how to fly, do you?
If you were raised in a National airline, you should not have any problems.
If you are one of those Self Paying Space Cadets however, presenting you as captain, cause you have 3000 hrs playing with your iPad in the right hand seat somewhere else, cause you bought some sim time to have your license stamped with a type rating, well, then you should not be flying in the first place, let alone comment on airline operations, without first hand experience.
What makes you an expert on an airline with more than 200 planes flying everyday in ****ty weather, with crap ATC, bad radar coverage and funny runways? Especially when you only had two friends near the place.
And there are good and bad pilots everywhere. Trust me, I have seen quit a few all over the world.
Please come forward with your position and experience in aviation.
maybe then we discuss further.
