Doesn’t make any sense on the AB either.
I think this is all the result of some pee pee contest by a couple of guys high up in training. Whomever won out just did it to prove he was more important.
Dropped a turd in every punch bowl.
There’s nothing about these flows and checklists which is an improvement in any way. The Capt is heads down very close to the end of the runway looking for fuel numbers.... (what could ever go wrong there?)
And the implementation was the worst thing I have ever seen in an airplane. It was simply shameful to turn everyone loose and say “have at it, just be careful.” No training. Hell-we do have a couple of videos now, but they have mistakes. Not sure how helpful that is.
Whomever made this decision: You had one job. Just one job.
I am disgusted to know that whomever cocked this up so badly gets paid a big enough mgmt bonus to buy a house each year.
