Low Timers are Finally Getting Mainstream Press

Yeah but it wouldn't have been nearly as colorful of a response then the word "no" in every known language and dialect now would it. You have to admit, if you can get past your irritation with me, it was kind of funny...:p

Dang it . . . this woman knows how to say no in every freakin' language. :D
 
Did anyone break the news to the guy that "copilots" actually are pilots?

Whatever happened to actual research..

The only aspect I can shed light on the discussion is what has been mentioned previously, by avery, among others.

Take the plane out of the equation.

What you have left is a low time pilot. Statistics by the FAA among other sources, quote that the accident rate among sub 1000 hour pilots is greater than 1000+ hour pilot.

Now put into context training. Sure, the airlines send their new hires to flight safety or other places, and this trains the aircraft system and company profiles to the pilot - but it does *NOTHING* to alter their amount of experience.

So lets throw CRM into the equation. Why do Captains have more hours than FOs, (generally speaking)? Experience.

What I'm trying to do here is isolate the components instead of lumping them together. This is not emperical logic when there are so many variables. So take the variables out to isolate the components and you get a general picture.

Excellent post!

Valid points, but I'd disagree that it enhances safety by itself. Call me arrogant (or you can call me a pilot, pretty much the same thing I'd say), but when it's my butt strapped the pointy end of a projectile I'm concerned with my performance to make the aircraft do what it's supposed to do.
Click to expand...

In the end, the pilot is the one forced to make decisions. That leads to the attitude you describe, and when I'm strapped in my sentiments are the same. However, the rest of the system affects the frequency and severity of the decisions we are faced with. We want experienced, knowledgeable pilots to answer hard questions, but we must also realize regulations, good maintenance, and sound engineering limit the number of those questions.

jtrain609 said:
My background before I was doing this gig is as a philosophy student while working as a server administrator at a university. My experience with computers is that they should not be relied on completely and you should expect them to fail because in my experience they will. Unlike most folks, I actually understand what the magic boxes are doing and in my experience, it isn't pretty when they start falling apart and again in my experience, they do.

It sounds like you have the same kind of background (or possibly engineering). What would you say to the failure rates that we deal with in the systems that we're dealing with? Because that's a concern to me. I had an FMS crap out the other week and we had to fly raw data for about two and a half hours. Not really that hard, but if you haven't done it in a while it can GET hard and we had a situation or two where if one of us had not stepped in to fix something that was going wrong with the way we were operating the aircraft, or the way the autopilot was operating the aircraft.
Click to expand...

Everything in an aircraft is not built to the same reliability, including software. Unlike flight control software, EFBs and FMSs are not built to the highest level due to their non-critical nature. The main point, however, is that what were once standard operating conditions (flying without FMS, EICAS, PFD, AP, et al) are now relegated to failure modes, and what were once failure modes have become vanishingly remote. That does not make it easy - just easier than it was.

What's the line? Trust but verify? That's how I feel about computers.

Always, in everything.
 
I dunno about that, I think once we found some common ground I think the discussion turned around quite nicely.
 
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in mud ... after a while you realize the pig enjoys it!
 
Hey John
Been here all along ... I "watch" over you all religiously. I've been pretty busy with the civilian job and spent the best part of November out of the country for my "part time" job with the Guard. I promise to do a better job keeping "current" here.

Good to hear you're still kickin', Jim. If you ever end up stuck in Newark on a sit give me a ring! I'm working at ExpressJet based out of Newark these days if you didn't notice and I'm spending a lot of time on the right coast.
