I realize this whole SOC training process is more painful depending upon the aircraft in question. The company's "diversion" tactic is nothing other than that. Legal positioning and media centric in their "position" on the topic.

I applaud UALALPA for taking this position.

Granted, all UAL aviators are highly experienced and capable of many things pertaining to changes in procedures. While I'm not there and can't say I know all the issues, I can say it sounds from what I've read like the FAA and POI are a bunch of idiots when it comes to this issue. Then again, Colgan is a safe airline to fly based on the FAA.......

When things like PRM or CDAP came into the equation, I remember having a final qual sim after doing all the studying and CBT requirements before being signed off. In this case, seeing all UAL normal procedures change to this extent, to me, would require a stint at TK to ensure everything is safe.

Oh, that costs money...............

Safety is but an inconvenience to these morons. Good on Wendy and the UAL MEC filing this injunction. Time to stop the absent minded goals of the company when they roll over the very goal of every ALPA pilot. Safety first.

UAL ALPA didn't fire the first shot. They engaged the company numerous times. The company got what they asked for a deserved.

Don't let the company's spin reduce your sight picture on safety.
