Pilots experience is calculated by the hours not by the years of service, so actually it matters if you stay in sim all the time or if you are flying to many destinations.
C1999, do you know why international pilots are favored over domestic or regional pilots when called for job interviews? because they flew to more airports, enriching their flying experience, so I think Dan cooper have a valid point there.

"Domestic & regional pilot" I don’t know where did you get that from, probably American or Indian terminology (only) specially when they try to filter applicant out. But its irrelevant when it comes to quality and skills. Cooper I’m not a FO,
A330 man, try again, sorry you didn’t get wright this time
but I can tell you a good pilot is:
1) Knowledge to be taught.
2) Skills to be gained.
3) And improved by experience..
If not the way as above NO GOOD
. if one is missing it will NEVER work.
i.e. so many good pilot with low time, and so many high experience with poor knowledge & many pulls the SPD BRK several times during descent unnecessarily (skills issue).all are not good (ideal) for A330, B777 or 5* QR,
We don’t wait for something to happened to make a change, that’s not smart and most likely it will be to late.
Oops sorry, almost 4get, there is new thing been introduced recently called CRM used "abused" ( politically) by office staff solely personal, to by-pass, isolate some good pilot form (upgrade, transition) how is judging how.
Load master keep mastering .
bottom line fly safe and talk logic.

I've got a feeling that some line pilots were not pleased by Cooper's suggestion to let the trainers fly a regular roster for couple of months per year, since that will mean less layovers + more return flights for the line captains.
May be I am wrong, but it is just a feeling.

Generalize, generalise,....What ever!
And I have the feeling too many people on this forum tend to generalize the whole time without knowing what they are talking about.
There are rotten apples in every basket, so unfortunately this is the case for the instructor basket as well, but do not forget the many good ones in that basket as well. Or can those "pilots" constantly spouting criticism on these forums in all honesty say they never came accross a single good instructor in this airline?
One thing I agree with Mr Cooper is the fact that instructors should be given exposure to the entire fleet network. Not only for their own benefit, but training flights should be done to every corner of the network so new joining pilots truly are prepared.
CI has a point as well stating that a professional pilot should be able to adapt to all new routes/destinations whenever the company deploys him there, but releasing pilots to a remote Indian destination during the monsoon season before ever having been there before/MNPS routes/remote area is NOT a good idea!
So in between the usual drivel these forums tend to generate, some good remarks have been made actually. (The generalisation left aside that is)

QR instructors
A good idea would be to have Training department meeting and discuss all strange fast track TRE positions given by last few years during dark times
of Uk/Indian Empire era . And remove one who has bad records and one who are not indipendant or one who has no thrust and support in aviation community .
Do you have list ? Or shell we do it for you ?

TRE
How can an TRE be someone who can not keep his dignity ?
What about TRE who repeat KTM sim ?
What about head of TRTO who crash in Eng Fail with CAA inspector watching ?
What about TRE who can not get A330 from stall ?
What about TRE who walk in Tech and no one say hi to him ?
Any idea how can a TRE be someone who at a time could not get LI position but after he took a flight to Sanna he get TRE fast track ?
There are TRE s which where removed and then reinstated for political reasons
QR TRE BM at the time did not know what are limitations for autoland CWC still he reach CP position .
What are you guys talking about ? Quality ??
