I know CAL wanted to switch over to ext rwy centerline shortly after the last 737-300 was retired (2009) and the entire fleet was now EFIS, but other things got in the way. As usual.
Wait does this mean CAL changed in 2010? That was post merger and validates my point.
Also I was hired in '96 and we had centerline tracking on the 73-500 fleet as well as the 756 fleet at that time. If CAL got it in 2010 I think what I was told is 100% true. By 2000 we had 777,756,73, and Airbus fleets all on centerline procedures. By the way what is the CAL procedure for SFO because the issue is not that we all have procedures, the issue is which is safer.
And,
how about Oral Testing? UAL has a long history of an Oral Test prior to the LOFT, but now we have none. I was told this was the CAL way. True? If it is true then it's an example of "dumbing down" in the other direction.
