Do you think it is ok for a person to go through this program and start on a 777 to gain experience? How about looking into the asiana crash in SFO. Prime example of why this program doesn't work. Look at the German wings....same type of program. A320 crash.

The specific examples you ask for are fodder for your desperate attempt to justify this program in your sad mind. I'll give you an idea of how this works....

You start by learning how to fly in a small plane. Then you learn instrument flying in a small plane. Then you earn the commercial license then multi rating then instructor atp etc etc etc. This is called building upon prior knowledge. You cannot learn how to handle smoke in the cockpit with a hydraulic failure searching for a suitable airport while handling 2 flight attendants 100 passengers without hundreds and hundreds of hours of experience dealing with the basic things associated with day to day flying.

According to you you can learn this as a 1500 hour instructor pilot from a 172 because you'll get trained in a sim. That's not how it works. If that's the case why not let you go straight to a 777?

Let's take a look at two different crashes shall we?

Buffalo Colgan flight 3407. And US Air flight 1549. Inexperienced vs experienced.

What do you think would have happened if you had a more experienced captain on the Colgan flight? Now how about a 1500 hour inexperienced pilot on 1549? Simulators Do not and Can not teach everything.


Like I said before we are not baby sitters and should not be put into a situation where we have to watch a poorly trained and inexperienced FO like a hawk.
