All of the LCAs at UA that I have flown with so far have been excellent. I learned a lot from each one . I know LCAs train for that sort of thing but anything can happen to anyone at anytime. Doesn’t mean you’re not qualified to be in that position.
I agree with you but in that situation there is more to the story. I believe there is a lawsuit that she didn't recieve proper LCA training. A lot of finger pointing.
It also raises big questions with our TA1 ... we are doubling the number of instructors and check airman by throwing money at them. Are we going to keep that same level of instructor or check airman going forward? The instructors are already pulling down big money and the pool of good people that want to do that are doing it. I fear we are pulling in mediocre to bad instructors who are there for the paycheck. Could we be pulling in better people from other bases if you improve job share or month to month options or qol improvements? I don't know but the people that are good at that type of thing aren't very plentiful.
