Default Co-pilots May Sim instead of Fly to Train

I don't know how one could conduct such a study without trying it. The
proposal seems to be a fair enough way to try it. There will always be
an experienced captain in the cockpit.



We conduct just such a study by letting the furriners try it first. Personally,
I'm wondering why I wasted all these years nursing when I could have been flying
as captain on a major before I had enough time to fly cancelled checks in this
counrty single pilot IFR.

Is it too late to sign up?
