This company has MAJOR problems with standardization, mediocre sim training, inconsistent manuals and a group of check airmen that don't even know what's in their books let alone how to teach someone to operate in a 121 environment. I believe that Fairmont was a symptom of these problems. That's my point.
Stay safe.
This is what I was trying to say and I think you made my point for me better than I could. By our 3407 I mean that we had our close brush with disaster and if we were serious about safety we would have instituted sweeping reforms. Nicely put.
