We should all be thankful their is enough trainers to continue training the new SO's because if there wasn't its possible we would be doing this 3 man so next time you see a trainer giver him/her a pat on the back and tell them they are doing a great job keeping this shambles on the rd!
Wrong. This change in the crew complement is a direct response to the company's INABILITY to train and upgrade S/O's, JF/O's etc. The increasing number of resignations of trainers and CX's inability to fill the slots is a real crisis. This is their reaction.
