After spending hours highlighting important info to study in the FM1, and to operate safely, I'm feeling super jaded that the company decided to take "extreme ownership" and push a new version with the only real change that M H uniforms are the only authorized uniform. That's real value added.

does the AA FM1 go down to that detail?

I feel this is posturing for something being preceded by all the HI6 messages. You're not wearing the wrong belt, you are operating the aircraft against the FM1 policy in your disciplinary letter.

its frustrating when 99% have good intentions, but it creates a divide for those who do have good will and intentions.
