After they finish IOE, 100 hours later, they are getting a line check, 6 months later they are resetting the AQP clock and they go back to Phoenix for AQP. The new captains are receiving excellent training, and frequent training in their first 6 months doing it.
And on top of all of this, they already been doing it from the right seat for the past 1000 hours.
So like I said earlier, they need to set the tone, be the PIC, and make competent decisions, IF they want to pass IOE.
Do you honestly think Hogan would allow some one that is a danger to pass? Do you honestly think that Tallman doing a 100 hour line check down the road would allow an unsafe captain to continue? Do you honestly think one of the many AQP instructors would allow a captain who was incompetent to continue?
FO's are one thing, being a Captain is not a right, and can go away as quickly as you got it.
