Interesting, so no need for a safety pilot onboard until the landings reach a safe level? I'm sure the bean counters (and Michael OLeary, see below) would agree. After all the junior pilot is "P1" rated...might as well sign him off as a Captain after four sectors with the BTC.
So, please, don't be rediculous. We have too much of that already (see below).
Base training does not teach landings to the level where the safety pilot can be released, but rather to a level where the trainee can continue training with an STC...the STC then continues to train landings until the proficiency level reaches a satisfactory point where the STC can feel comfortable enough to release the safety pilot. Even then, a subsequent trainer can decide that the landings are unsafe and recommend that a safety pilot be placed back onboard. Does that help?
Until you've bounced around Asia with 400 Pax in the back, with only you and a barely competent novice in the other seat, albeit "P1" rated, you (and Michael OLeary, see below) can spare me your condescension.
