Better to rely on a bucket full of experience than a cup full of luck. Know one in the company likes where this is heading (except management) including some check airmen that I have spoken with.
There’s a lot more to respond to but I’ll let it go at that.
So these check airman must suck at their jobs then right? There are check and balances. What you’re really saying is that our training, check airman, and standards are poor. BTW the same standards that you, mighty captain gate keeper of the skies, had to pass too. You chicken littles act like these guys walk in off the street and into the left seat having never flown before. It’s preposterous.
