Good Evening,

I am not a Pilot, just a travel counselor and former US Airways employee.
I am looking for pilot's opinion regarding Lufthansa's new Jump project: Lufthansa has taken pilots who were only flying short-haul on Embraer and CRJ and retrained them for long-haul flights on A340.
So basically the cockpit on the affected routes is now manned by two longhaul/A340 newbies. Risky? AF447 comes to mind.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Karen
