I'm all about the best of both worlds. That is the way it should be done... none of the "well that's the way we did it" from either side to justify blindly doing something or another.

Things are slowly progressing toward that, thankfully.

Another thing on my wishlist is saying "one to go" instead of spelling out the stupid numbers on the altitude (no need for "two to go").

Efficiency and simplicity!


As a side note, After transitioning to the bus I can totally see why the fleet captains were assigned the way they were (747/777 and 737/A320). We really don't read the books the same way... there really needed to be the combined training program captains (which is what a fleet captain is) to help translate the training practices into a uniform system between the fleets that were not intermixing like the 757/767. Things are worded identically between the A320 manuals and the other fleets, but they do them "the north translation" because that is what they tend toward. They did the fleet captain assignments to transition the AQP program to where we all read it the same way, which takes time.
