I don't know if true at all, but that has been the work in the crew rooms in DCA and PHL for a few days now. I even heard people talking about it in PHX.
I wouldn't be surprised. Seems like they tried to get this program together without the help of any outside vendor. Kinda like trying to get a 145 program from a Cracker Jacks Box.
This along with brutal schedules and worn out planes I'm not surprised. Plus people filling out ASAP reports for any little stupid reason can set off the FAA.
If this is true it's going to be very interesting.
