My thread was not at all meant specific to this airline. The ad was just as a demonstration for how weird I thought it to be.

Automation dependency has been a worry for a few years now, even Airbus has tried to push for more hand flying.

Isn't a 13 month training from zero hours kind of automation dependency training? Do you really get the hands on flying that will be necessary in case your screen turns black? Isn't there a reason for FAA in the US to recommend 1500 hrs flying time before promotions?
