I have an Idea. Why don't they just leave us alone! We are under constantly scrutiny in this job. Medicals, sim checks, line checks, Flt monitoring. not to mention the countless refresher courses we have to do. Just leave us the F alone.

Is there any other profession out there that is so highly scrutinised? IMO there is no safety benefit in creating some course or whatever that is designed to improve/test or monitoring skills.

If the industry is serious about having more alert pilots why not do something about FTL rules. give us more rest and we will perform better. I promise.

If you can prove in the sim and in flight that you are capable of doing the job correctly as PF then it stands to reason that as PM you should also know when something is not right. If you miss something then it's a lapse not due to inability but probably due to tiredness/fatigue.
