On June 28th, yoi can see exactly when they started skipping GS coverage and going straight to 23.M.7. It’s infuriating to me.
I’d like to see us stop accepting IA’s as a group.
This one had about 3 1/2 hours of notice before report, which makes it even more ludicrous. We had a series of other GS calls go out overnight as usual, and they found coverage in reasonable time.
I was already planning to do a Crew Assist inquiry about this, but for the experts here, what is
supposed to happen when they opt to skip steps of coverage?
