Truely what is CRM? For me the way you learn CRM is performance based. This is where policies and procedures are integreted into scenerio's in sim training. Sure you have that 1-3 hr classroom presentation about what CRM is, but you don't truely learn or utilize it until your on the flightdeck.

As far a MCL goes, this may bode well for other countries. But this would be a slap in the face, DIVE to the bottom for U.S. pilots. I hope the unions are watching this subject, because if they don't address this they'll never get compensation back to where it needs to be.
