The good ones had B1900 time.

No. The reports just portray elementary mishaps related to low experience on heavies with that kind of engagement field. Too many in my view.
The step from low hour prop directly onto B777 and even more A380 is a challenge that would require a lot more training that the company does not provide.

Yes probably better at both so let’s get lots more, great plan!
But ...........unfortunately that’s not what we do most of the time!
If you’re down to manual handling and doing raw data then you’ll probably be quite stressed!
When stress increases we naturally revert to past experience, if past experience is just light turbo props flying manually and being epic at flying a raw data approach it ain’t going to help much!
You’ll be relying on the person next to you to carry you. If that person hasn’t got much experience (as is becoming increasingly common) it could go pear shaped even quicker!
Everyone has to start somewhere but remember we fly worldwide so the learning process is much longer and more complex than most turboprop guys will have been used too. Having some really experienced pilots next to you helps immensely as you learn the ropes. The problem is that EK doesn’t seem to appreciate this - but that’s another thread!

And i guess you'd agree with me that sitting in the back, we'd like a minimum of both ....

Well, after more than 15 years around here there's not much surprising me no more. You're not wrong, but i did not question specific handling skills, i stated: "elementary mishaps related to low experience on heavies with that kind of engagement field".
And i guess you'd agree with me that sitting in the back, we'd like a minimum of both ....

yah well of course since you blokes probably did your solo circuits in a 777, no turboprop pilot could possibly make the grade...it would stand to reason if one can take a 200hr ab initio pilot and qualify them, an experienced turboprop pilot probably wouldnt have many issues..dont try to make yourselves look more important than you are,

This is exactly what I was thinking, a 200hr cadet is a better pilot than a 1500hr B1900 FO? With regards to this thread, I wasn't asking if ME3 have hired guys straight from B1900's, I personally know of B1900 pilots who got called in by ME3 & offered a contract. I'm more asking about the state of employment at ME3, since B1900 guys have gotten accepted for a 777 type rating and employment.
I stated: "The step from low hour prop directly onto B777 and even more A380 is a challenge that would require a lot more training that the company does not provide".
Certainly B1900 pilots got offers, because the desired jet experienced pilots from 737/320 no longer apply, too unattractive the conditions for them. Cadets have to be employed here due to national pride, they however get a lot more training. If you would have read all the relevant threads, you would discover that i have always criticised this zero to hero career in favour of a step via FlyDubai 737. That would resemble logical, classic careers (and not what the butt stupidly invoked with his 777 circuits).
But making the same multiple step omitting incorporation of more foreign pilots, with very variable backgrounds, WITHOUT adapting the training syllabus comprehensively is what we criticise. They can all be potential astronauts with their skills, i didn't doubt that, but give them the training, steps, hours and exposure. If not, its the skippers on the front who have to deal with some lack of assistance and the soon to be skippers from the new lot will not even realise no more this lack of assistance.
You can blame the messenger and try to ridicule his contributions as much as you trump, the problem will not go away!

Today i fly the b737ng and max and i find it even more challenging than the CRJ.
I think any pilot should do his best to really know his aircraft, hand fly it, know how to use the automation etc...any pilot has to put in the work and study, practice etc....a good 1900 pilot won't necessarily be a good 737 pilot.
We have cadets coming on the 737 with 200h and they are doing a great job because they want to learn and work hard.

TP pilots
Reading still seems to be a major problem on here ....
I stated: "The step from low hour prop directly onto B777 and even more A380 is a challenge that would require a lot more training that the company does not provide".

with no offense but most speaking about how bad TP pilots are u can’t be any more wrong
if u hire TP pilots from proper company’s they will have it way easier to fly a jet then u think
manual handling skills are by far better and if u think they can be lazy during an approach because it is so much slower only shows u never fly a a TP
most modern TP use HGS for cat 3a and have to switch of the autopilot at 1000ft to finish of a CAT 3
during eng fail conditions u can only switch on the AP at accel alt because of it limitations
have u ever thought what’s the appr speed of a TP ?
the recent ones range around 130 to 135 it and at point anti ice is not on yet which in some cases is another 20kt on top
so pleae don’t tell me it’s the speed, the appr cap, or the weight all of these arguments are utter bs
there is nothing what can’t be learned as lr or Ulr is a different. Ops - there is only one factor do you as a trainer trainer to succees or check to death
the attitude I can read here is just pre judgments and nothing else
TP pilot don’t need extra training or something else they just like u need a normal training - most off u judging here had the luck to start at a company which gave proper training and then u came to ek - ek does not teach does check only and pre judge on statistics nothing else

interesting to see how jet pilots think over TP pilots

And your answer makes the points
Apparently u are a native speaker and as long somebody is off being perfect to your way u not give it a chance - that’s ok for me and I accept your critics over my writing
but it also symbolizes the facts which are obvious here
„If you are not perfect you won’t get a chance because I am so much better than you“ - this is exactly what the discussion over TP pilots is. Again they come from a different operation which has its own little difficulties and cannot be judged by somebody not having done it before.
The discussion here is purely about finding the failures of others and ranting over the bad thing rather than helping each other to achieve a target - a very typical ek thing and
there is no worse thing than „i don’t want to“
and the point is: i would never deny somebodies arguments over the writing in my language because it wasn’t perfect - shows also a certain mind set which contributes to the stated Argument.
as I said before it needs training and not checking until u fail

Flying is about managing abnormals from point of initiation to a successful debrief. If you divert an A380 over the Himalayas into ZWWW, the stakeholders don't want to hear about little Timmy's manual handling skills for Christ's sake.
The quality of candidates coming into the industry, not just EK, has dramatically lowered over the last decade. The root cause being the ever increasing pressure on yields from a sustained competition far removed from economic reality whilst matching industry growth.
No-one gives a damn about your TP. Just not for the reasons you think, which ironically highlights the problem.
