Really not sure on the number of sectors needed. If transitioning from one type to another within the same company, it’s 15 hrs with a training captain, and fewer than 8 sectors for sure.

25 hours. Not sectors.

Some people would have come to their first jet from light pistons, and others from turboprops. We do the same training. I’m not sure how many landings or sectors are...

I don’t disagree with you, but whether you’ve flown the same type for a different airline, or just came from pistons, you get 25 hrs.

(I’m told that some regionals have recently increased to ~40...

The first time I flew the A320 without AT, it was quite a ride. With a bit of repetition, it becomes a lot easier though, and I’d say is my normal landing configuration.

Maybe there's something to be said for 150 hrs of line training. Here, the standard is 25 or 15 hours. You'll be fired long before getting to 150 hours.

:D

"You never connect an AP to a suspected faulty flight instrument or control"

I learned that on my first transport jet course. I still haven't forgot those words.

Evidence? I’m no more inclined to document it than you were the last time you had to swerve to avoid a collision while driving. Sure, sometimes we make mistakes. The plane makes mistakes too. Push...

That’s because most of the time the automation does something stupid, we just turn it off and fix it with some stick and rudder skills. The reports you read are the crews who didn’t do that. The A320...

Thanks to all who responded. It still seems bizarre that someone so inexperienced can be given that level of responsibility. (Again, not referencing this captain in particular, just the system in...
