What this guy said... The Saab is not an extraordinarily hard plane to fly. The training departments job is to ensure your safe,proficient and knowledgeable about the plane you operate. Do you want guys on the line that cant handle a V1 cut in the sim? No and either does the public flying on our planes. As the level of applicant goes down the wash out rate will go up and rightfully so. If anything this shows the training department is doing its job, not the other way around.

While I agree practicing in the sim with it off is good it's still no substitution for when it's running or out on the line. A good friend there that is a captain is experiencing these new FO's and it's not pretty.
1. So did captain Fairmont and you see how that turned out.
2. Dude your still here?
