I know I know: Your APDs would never pass someone who is not ready, but I have seen it happen plenty at Eagle too: bad apples can still play the training game fine. After all, it is more of a stage act than anything else.
Just seems like some alarms should be going off about this. Just me. Again, I'm not trying to start WW3 here as usual, so go easy. I didn't call any names or insult anyone's manhood.
So you are saying that flying right seat on one airplane then upgrading on another airplane is a recipe for disaster. I disagree with you as this is common practice in every airline that I know off. You can do it in every mainline, and they do it in every regional. American MD80 FO can upgrade to the 777, RAH Q400 FO can upgrade to the 145.
You can open a different thread to discuss the issue, it has nothing to do with PSA.
