Rhino driver - Indeed! I find it incredulous that a hammer approach to teaching people how to fly out of an unexpected position, that they probably wouldn't have gotten themselves into if they were initially taught well, is now being mandated. In a previous life, it seemed I spent half the time upside down, or at max angle of attack, as the norm. Strangely, I've found that both model A and model B both respond quite nicely to "flying the aircraft" back to our normal boring straight and level status quo. So rather than fix the problem, i.e. Teaching people how to maneuver the a/c at its limits, the bean counters have Scrooged it up, to apply a save-all band-aid fix. Yeah I'm sure shouting out "Attitude roll pitch power " or whatever counter-intuitive bs they are currently spouting is going to save the day when El Capitano leaves spikey haired earring wearing millenials at the controls going through the itcz when one of the un-noticed red/purple cells bites young spikey in the @ss. For the love of (insert deity here), can we not just teach these people how to actually " fly"? FFS! |

Personally I don't think there's anything to worry about since airplanes practically fly themselves anyways.

In the meantime, enjoy the spectacle of CX losing all it's experienced and qualified crew.
The longer you stay the worse it gets and it's designed that way. |

I am sure the unforecast, unprecedented and totally out of our control US/PRC trade war will be the headliner at the interim results announcement in early August! There will always be something to blame..... |
Unfortunately all those nice layers of safety which used to be incorporated into the operation ( maturity, experience, talent, training and confidence) have been slowly eroded away. Now, scratch the surface of a new joiners’ competence and a shocking level of unsuitability may often be exposed. |
Strange... I well remember A Scalers saying exactly the same about the first B Scalers to arrive...:rolleyes: |

Not a problem.... just disengage, push, thrust, stabilize, roll or whatever that procedure they thought they needed to teach me is. |

Airlines like Qantus being the exception. |

My recollection is a little different. Sure, there was bitching, but not experience levels - I flew with many in the Air Force. Sorry if that doesn’t fit your eye rolling agenda... |

Having said that I (once again) well remember a lauded Airforce pilot smashing the aircraft into the ground so hard they came back from base training with the gear down... :rolleyes: But yeah, good and not so good airforce/ civilian. I’ve no axe to grind, but I do have skin in the game. Enjoy your retirement. |
