My understanding is that there are several in my fleet who are potentially on their way out the door.
That said, where a DAL pilot nails down his/her training habit patterns is in their first school. For military folks, it is a different way to train. Have your instructor write down the callouts and profiles for each event. Memorize them and you should have no training trouble. Try to shoot from the hip or think you've got the right stuff = training trouble.
Yup its three and your out now. I had a nice long talk with a big wig and he said that he hates to do it but its strictly done by the these rules now.
The new books have all the calls and flows spelled out. There doesn't need to be any input from instructors on those two items anymore.
