I mean you can’t preform in a sim, when you know the date it’s going down well ahead of time, how can I safely expect you to execute a real life V1 cut/fire/single engine aprch situation?
Real world the best place (by a large margin) we can weed out people who are not safe is in recurrent, but both sides don’t want that because they are full of **** when it comes to not just talking/BSing about “safety” …but actually being about safety
Failing a ride does not mean they are not safe.
Want to be that rigid, hope you never busted 250 knots below 10K even by 1 knot. Fired! Not a safe pilot because you can't manage the energy state of your plane.
If your point is both sides have their selfish reasons and latching onto a catchy argument to justify their position, then I am with you. But if you're serious that a failed ride should entail termination, then GTFO. You're no better than those that advocated for single pilot ops, return of astronaut physicals, etc to inflict as much damage to the next generations careers just because they didn't get their way with Age 67 with their BS arguments.
