I'd like to think the former over the latter but some of these new guys have me questioning that lol.
I don’t want to blame our instructors; but there is certainly a problem with new hires not being used in RSV. Theae new skills atrophy rapidly The FAA requires rapid CKS for a reason. RSV captains are coaching almost every flight; which I’m ok with, but it’s hard work some days...
