Two under-'qualified' pilots put themselves in an entirely avoidable situation.
It's down to training and testing being made more appropriate to the real world
You said it mate - not me. Now read my previous posts and tell me that's not what you are talking about.
I agree that our current system would work better if there was more rigour and better enforcement. The problem I am pointing at is that our system is based on the fixed wing philosophy that sees Joe Pilot pop from CPL FHT to airline with no serious issues but we cannot do that in most cases because the skills gap between the New CPL and the functioning crew member is simply too great. We need another way.
