Did I ever doubt that your could be employed at 21? Find me a quote that says so
No Matter the position, all pilots who sit up in the cockpit have full responsiblity of the control of the aircraft. Does that mean if you were a second officer, forced to fly an aircraft if both the captain and first officer were incapable in doing so for whatever reason, you'd just let the plane cruise along till it runs out of fuel or whatever may potentially happen to it.
Minute intelligence. I find that quite funny. Whats funny is when someone accuses someone of posessing a lack on intelligence when they have no idea who that person is or who they know. You've given me enough evidence to call you immature just by your general attitude.
And finally, your too immature to realise that I'm not in conflict over the fact that your eligible to be flying at 21, it's just your atittude that you have displayed towards myself that has annoyed me. and the fact that you are too gutless to understand the truths and realities of this industry, whether your a cadet or a direct entry pilot. Being a cadet does not mean you are different to any other pilot flying those aircraft.
i think you said smething along the lines of 'it isnt impossible' which in itself is double negation which just proves that intelligence thing but anyway..
yeah my attitude would be the same to anybody who thinks they know everything about aviation because they have some uncle working at virgin blue and then coming into a forum and giving me stupid unrealistic hypothetical scenarios..
you think a SO would just let the aircraft continue on its present course without a legit PIC..really..need to wake up to yourself..
and the role of a SO is cruise relief..so in a realistic scenario, the SO would actually be observing and then taking controls during the cruise part of the flight..the safety of passengers remains with the PIC which can then be distributed..the tasks that is
and i think ive clarified that it is normal to be in the airlines by 21..
1. 1.5years @ uni, 2 years CIPP, which would get me in at 20 1/2 years
2. 3 years @ uni, 2 years CIPP, which would get me in at 22 years..
but of course, id have to first be accepted..
other ways..
3. raaf..through adfa, 3years at uni, 11years roso..
4. direct entry..probably 3-5 years going bush or instructor or whatever..
so yeah..
and i think you entire perception of the CURRENT aviation industry is just wrong so please dont give me a lecture on your pointless realtities of the aviation industry..
ive never said that it wasnt a stroll in the park..i dont think ive even touched that issue..this 'civilised argument with an immature child' really started because you said being in the airlines was 'not impossible' which implies near impossibility at the age of 21..which ive already proven to you is quite normal..
