It really is hard to keep up with the changes in callouts and procedures and the freaking manuals keep growing in size. Just did CQ and I forgot how big (and different) Vol 1 FOM and the FCTM have become. All you guys complaining about our manuals and the "big bubble" cockpit seem to have "won the argument" Uggh
Come on guys it's not that hard...... Just bid a new plane and go to the schoolhouse for assimilation.
I do agree though....... Having just come through a training event the chatter in the cockpit is crazy. I find this to especially be true during our most critical phases of the operation! While I think briefing things are good we should focus on the importance of the brief not the laundry list someone has devised.
