I have often wondered they value of not sending F/O's for the PT at the 6 month mark with the Captains. Sending everyone every 6 months for training might solve some of these issues.

As far as the "warm up" I think it should be changed. We should get a practice oral and do the actual PC the day before the actual PC. At the conclusion of the "warm up" we should either get a sign off for the PC or get additional training. After the PC then we should get the Bogota sim witch should be just training.

This would drive up the training costs but would solve many of these issues. Simply telling the pilots it is all their fault isn't a solution. There is value with training and we have some of the best training instructors I have ever worked with.
