Here's a question, if you were in a dive, would you open the door so you can let the CA in or pull up?

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that the young co-pilot had not been trained to handle the situation and "probably had no clue to tackle this kind of emergency."


wow do these guys even have to go to flight school? or do they just do a powerpoint?

 

[say again]

Probably trying to find the "Unusual Attitude disengage" button. I know! Those low time cadet programs work great don't they?

A more appropriate title of the thread should be "Indian FO." forget the company name, it was a 737.

So, are "Express" pilots dangerous or are 737 pilots? Won't matter, they'll be one in the same here in a year or two.

This is what MPL will look like.

1300TT...? I guess that's what happens when you let regional FOs fly larger equipment. Just kidding! Seriously, some of you guys need to get those pills that make your special purpose bigger. I can't imagine what it's like going through life with a pinky dik but it obviously makes a person have to over compensate for their lack of equipment size they fly (CX880).

Don't quite understand this; It says the F.O. has just a commercial certificate but it says he has an "endorsement as PIC" in a 737. Is that a sort of type? Either way, pulling a plane out of a dive should be an instinctual action by any pilot.
