So all this talk of the training for every kind of situation such as ditching in the Hudson got me wondering...
I know that stuff like this is not covered in training at Regionals and I am pretty sure this stuff is not covered in training at Major but now that the press seems to be under this impression that airline pilots get all this amazing training, that got me to wondering...
What would happen if a pilot, green FO fresh out of indoc, or a high seniority CA called up training tomorrow at their respective airline and asked to do some sort of additional training for some off the wall situation like, I dont know, a dual engine failure just after takeoff from LGA? Or maybe a loss of the vertical stab after taking off from JFK? Perhaps even a fuel starvation scenerio over middle of nowhere Canada or any other of a million situations that could happen?
Does anyone think that their training department would accomodate this or would they tell you to pound sand after they fired you for not knowing and being proficient with these scenerios?
