Unless they intend to have an evaluator/standards guy monitor every flight, how are they going to get a fair evaluation of each pilot's flying skills, and decision-making abilities? Is how well they do on the annual check ride in the simulator environment going to determine who is going to be promoted? No thanks- I've seen way too many guys that were superb on the line in the real world, have lousy check rides in the sim.
