No, they simply laid out the actual facts so that i could form a reasonable opinion based on that. Maybe that's a foreign concept for some, idk.
The prerequisites, combined with the sheer amount of guardrails, training with LCA's, checking events, and oversight is a lot safer than, say, a new hire reserve bunkie forced into SFO 777 trying to escape a seat lock after 1 year. Or, hell, a 20 year career bunkie who upgrades and barely passes training by the skin of their teeth, both of which happen already, but I sure don't see the same energy for either of those scenarios.
