Not ever flown a 4-pot, is it more likely to have a bird strike in the outboard engines than the inners? If that is so, then surely practicing the more difficult and likely event is the proper use of simulators. Assuming you have performed the mandatory RTO training due to engine failure, that would suggest that many operators must choice the inboard engines. My question is why? Why not choose any engine and therefore cover all possibilities? Equally, why not train the difference a/c reaction to inboard/outboard engine failures and with left/right x-winds, and wet runways. There has to be a significant difference; having read the posts from the experienced crews. Surely the company has a strong interest in training its crews not to bend its high value assets when the poo hits the fan. Ticking boxes is not training. We've seen the consequence of that philosophy in real-life events.

Come on XAA's, review your remit over airline training.
