In the past aircraft and systems were taught by a FLT ENG or experienced pilot. Limitations were known by number not by colour. Now a CBT and a quick quiz is all that is required. All in the name of cost cutting.
We now have aircraft crashing while in the cruise when Autoflight problems happen.
New pilots that have never been given the opportunity to hand fly an aircraft even above 10000ft, let alone upside down. This new training system may be great at teaching someone to follow an SOP but it's not very good at training them to be pilots.
