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.
Actually, most of the FO's on the MD-11 accidents were new. The 2 MD-10 gear incidents were new FO's. If the Professional RFO's are such a problem, why do they pass their 6 month and annual checks.
Who's problem is it?
We have had 7 accidents........we still have the same Director of Safety.
We still have the Same senior Flight MGT.
We still have the Same MGR of flt training.
Where is the problem?
