Mixed Up, I did hear a story of a Chief Pilot who told the line pilot where to find the keys for an airvan, and talked him through how to fly it over the phone. Line pilot had no previous experience on an airvan.
If this comes on top of inadequate training, then I suspect this might be a recipe for disaster.
But in the brave new world of General Aviation, a freshly minted CPL will soon be able to put up an A board, and advertise and sell commercial scenic flights. Inadequate training, no experience flying hot and heavy, and no supervision by a crusty old CP willing to plant their Size 11s up the backside........I'd love to hear the case for how this will maintain or improve safety.
