Maybe just preference, but I do agree that transitioning from using one method to using another does present a safety and learning curve.
EWRflyr,
I agree 100%. When we adopted the QRC big questions would always arise on the airplanes with electronic checklist. Do I start with the QRC, ECL, Flt manual. So I finish the QRC, then I have to do the ECL and finally reference the manual for the performance calculations for a abnormal config landing. Pure and total chaos with books all over the simulator. I like the ORH, one stop shopping and yet our simpletons can't understand simple!
My fellow UA pilots appear to be lazy and untrainable when it comes to change. For a large cross section of our group perhaps it is because they didn't bring a lot to the table when they were hired? Not being a flamer but to ignore that fact is to ignore the elephant in the room. They just don't understand how to train for something new. We had to change our checklist in the late 80's early 90's to be the same response for all fleets. Too many could not adapt to different fleet specific calls and responses.
