There are some objections on certain language for various company proposals.

One is the midnight sim session. It's my understanding that the reason being, is it basically becomes a CQT event (or PC) to do three landings. AA apparently is still using the old PC standard, pass/fail. I agree with the union's stance, coming from their POV.

First I think it's important that the sim session be made the most of, because, if someone hasn't flown enough to land 3 times in 90 days, they aren't very proficient. I think it's in the pilots and companies' best interest that that session is done as a training event, for safety's sake.

However, it's pretty obvious that doing it at 3am in the morning, the student isn't going to get hardly anything out of it. I understand why the company wants it, but I think they want it for the wrong reasons.

If the company wants to have mid night sim sessions, why not make the midnight sim session simply a 3 t/o and 3 landings event, not a pass/fail event. If they want to use it as a training event, stick to normal training schedules.

I would think that would alleviate most everyone's concerns with that.

Just one example, I would think/hope we could come to an eye-to-eye if we sharpened our pencils.
