ZERO is taught in class. They throw it ALL on the checkairmen.
And then as stated in another post, it’s no longer an Atlantic crossing, it’s just a crossing. There’s a big difference between the Atlantic and the pacific.
We have had pilots cross the Atlantic without talking to a soul. No voice, NO CPDLC, No HF. NO ONE.
Captains are afraid to go on breaks. Rightfully so with incidents such as these.
Hard landings, errors programming the box almost runnin*off runway, , almost hitting a mountain, the pilots, instructors and check airmen have warned over and over of an impending airframe loss.
Training has to change but Atless is too slow to react. Planes keep moving, and it’s all they know Or want to keep training costs down.

Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. Training is better. Safer place to work.
