I didn’t like it when they started making us fly Boeings like the Airbus, but it’s much easier when you transition to another fleet.
The major problem I have with your post is calling it unprofessional to fly the Airbus the way the United FM states. I hate flying with old people that always say “this isn’t how we did it at”
My ego gets left at home when I’m flying.
Right, well certainly we (line pilots) flying it the way the FM states is not unprofessional, it’s what we are supposed to do.
My criticism mainly is with the fact our policies are so unique and exceptional compared to almost all Airbus operators.
My hypothesis for this is that I think this stems from at some time (potentially still) a lot of people high up in TK and in maintenance are of the “if it’s not Boeing, I’m not going” faith, and are also likely to think that all Airbus is all garbage and “stupid French”, “freakin Metric system” types…which is an ok opinion to have but that bias has found its way into official company policy.
