Removing DHD from the equation, you will actually credit more with the LOA.
So now, I'm looking at seeing if this LOA negatively affects my QOL. Will it?
Not sure.
The way I'm looking at it, the way training was done in the past required sitting in recurrent three days. That's three days I'm not flying or sitting at home. Bruce is a great guy, I enjoy meeting new people at recurrent, but it requires me sitting at the training center.
Without the LOA, I'll have to go sit in the classroom at the training center or Terminal 4 and do recurrent on my iPad. By myself. Then do one day door/safety training at the training center.
With the LOA, I do recurrent training on the iPad, but I do it whenever I want to. On a layover at DTW, sitting in front of my TV or at the beach. Also one day at the trainings center doing door/safety training.
You can see, I'm just looking at this one step at a time. Still haven't decided on a yes or no vote, just gathering info and talking aloud.
