OET2 did a nice job of explaining what steps are being taken and what training is being given to the other players. Ramp, dispatch ETC.
That in my opinion was what was severely lacking in the previous fuel efficiency classes at UAL and that is what killed the previous programs credibility with line pilots. Amongst other things like no contract Tilton robbing us blind, a complete and total lack of respect and one of the most hated, self important, (the fuel Nazi extraordinaire) in the company running the program.
(Natural born UAL guys will know who I am talking about.)
Airhoss, did they mention anything about why they are putting so many ord ramp folks on part time status and now having trouble loading the a/c on time? Did anyone ask any pointed questions? Been an issue lately and late departure followed by more fuel being burned enroute.
