Trans Asia crash video

"The Civil Aviation Administration said Wednesday the 10 failed the oral exam on handling emergency situations administered after the Feb. 4 crash of Flight GE235 and need to be retrained. It said 19 other pilots who did not take the test would also be suspended. "

So they got through 10 failures and quit testing, just retrain them all? :dunno: Just trying to figure why 19 didn't test.:confused:

If you don't test, you don't fail.

Asian logic.

10 failed - the next 19 in line decided to just call in sick ...

Or, 10 failed - company officials look at each other, look at the floor, think about their future careers, cancel testing for the rest?

Testing without retraining was a stupid idea to begin with. I wonder if they had any passes?:dunno:

No it's not, it establishes a baseline. It also gives a "snapshot" of where their current (or lack of) training stands.

Exactly. Running everyone through a preliminary test helps determine whether it was an isolated issue or widespread deficiency in the pilot group. Then you can tailor the corrective action.

IRRC....

The third guy in the cockpit in the jump seat with 16,000+ hours was the airline check pilot....:confused::confused::redface:
 
Putting in this thread also. Found the numbers: it was 10 out of 68 that failed the oral quiz for inflight emergencies.
 
Do any airlines outsource their initial and recurrent training to FlightSafety or similar non-airline firms?
