Well,
Lets see. Everything in aviation is about LEARNED experience. Gulfstream offers a short cut to the airlines. These pilots may learn the basics of flying an aircraft, but they are left behind in experience. Every pilot who has climbed the aviation ladder, has over the years known or heard about the pilot who got his instrument and went out and killed themselves. How 'bout that freight pilot who crashed and killed themselves, ect on and on. Exposure to the process of flying is a cumulative process, experience allows a pilot to adapt and adjust his/her behavior to allow survival in the process, stop learning from the process and the time bomb starts ticking again. Gulfstream and all puppy mill pilots all start out with the experience deficit, over time and experience they can accumulate enough experience to survive. Enough experience in any airframe will provide some insulation from the selection process. The problem lies when the candidate lacking basic fundamental skills tackles a new task(a/c) that the ticking of the bomb starts anew. The proof is in the FARs, no green on green crew pairings, this process is codified to prevent the excessive risk situation. The F/O for all her 1600 hrs was as green as the grass on my lawn 1600 hrs of going round the pattern didn't give her any additional skills that the first 300 gave her. Any seasoned aviator would never raise the flaps during a stall event. A seasoned aviator might reach forward and check thrust, or call out airspeed or sink rate, but raise the flaps? The Captain is the gun, ammo and hair trigger, the F/O is the safety on the gun, if either the captain or the f/o did this job correctly this thread would not be here. There is plenty more I could add but I am now bored and an gonna hit some porn sites, you guys bore me.
