AQP? The Professional Instructors in the MD-11 program told me they could be fired for providing instruction outside of the AQP syllabus. Nobody was willing to risk their job to provide tutoring on a day off or host a study session along the way. When I went through the B-727 FE and the DC-10 FE courses (Appendix F Training), the Professional Instructors hosted study sessions in their own homes -- we just provided the liquid refreshments.
Now they're afraid they'll skew the AQP process by talking to you outside of the briefing room. The only way they can prove the program has flaws is to watch people struggle and fail.
It's a different jungle out there.
