People on the line, including LCA’s didn’t even read checklist verbatim, and SOP’s were more of an ish-type of mentality. Instructors both in the school house and on the line regularly taught personal techniques as if they were book procedures. I don’t think that our current training department is any better or worse than Delta or American today, but it’s much, much better than what I went through at CAL.
