  1. Sounds right. I assumed there'd be some simulator training to at least pacify the general public, but a check airman told me last week there's enough evidence of poor piloting in both accidents that a computer based training program would suffice. Who knows. Like I said we don't even have a MAX9 sim, but plenty of 900ER sims. Same thing with two cup holders.

  2. Partly. The FAA has neither the staffing nor expertise to provide the kind of oversight many of you think it should or does. Most part 121 airlines have advanced qualification programs that have been blessed by the Feds, but beyond that there's not much involvement by the g men. My FAA observation ride when I checked out as a captain at Continental was observed by a Continental check airman as the FAAs designee. I'd have been waiting for months for an FAA guy to show up to do the ride otherwise. Very common in this industry.
