Yepp. As I mentioned in
Post #19 above, "Our FOM requires me to provide cockpit access to FAA Air Carrier Inspectors, Line Check Airmen conducting evaluations, and Fleet Check Airmen conducting QA observations." A First Officer TAA is not an FAA Air Carrier Inspectors, not a Line Check Airman and not a Fleet Check Airman.
He doesn't have to go -- that's settled.

Again, IOSA is an IATA program, and IATA is a Trade Association.
It has NO regulatory authority -- it cannot require boo.

The FAA's SMS program includes ASAP, FOQA, LOSA, and FRMS. It does NOT include this QA program The Company is trying to cram down our throats.
Now, the FAA website is vast, and I have yet to explore it all. If you can find a reference that contradicts my assertion, one that shows us where the FAA is mandating this program, please share it with us.
