"I have control"
Anyone else experiencing a disproportionate increase in control take-overs on landing recently? I am referring to landing with new low-hours cadets as PF on complex jets.
I'm not blaming them, nor do I have any axe to grind. It would appear likely that more events will happen, as these folks are transitioning from light twins to complex jets, in greater numbers than before.
But something tells me that the issue is more to do with ability/aptitude levels. After all, selection was far tougher in previous times, as the requirement for new pilots was far lower. And the gradual step up from a Baron to a classic 4-crew 707 was slower and more straightforward than from a DA42 to the right seat of an A321.
Perhaps I am just guilty of moaning about how things were better in the olden days. (Which they were not, in many areas).
Any thoughts?
