So airbus F/Os have a pretty good safety record. Md-11 F/Os not so good. In fact bad. (Mem Md-10 gear collapse, Mem tail strike, SFS tail strike) Whats the difference? Maybe professional RFOs who barely stay current. Maybe 14-15 day pairings with min flights/landings. Maybe guys who have been in their seats too long and lost motivation to stay sharp. Definitely a full disclosure of the enders report would help. Somethings wrong and has to change. JAck is saying look in the mirror and see if you're part of the problem. Just cuz you've been able to min run the program so far without a incident doesnt mean cant happen to you.
