(Of course admitting this would confirm that the FAA has been asleep at the switch / in bed with Keen and Co.)
It's stick pusher not shaker. Training is currently working with the FAA to resolve the simulator issues in CLT. Because of the AQP, the FAA did allow some exceptions to the required changes in training following the Colgan accident. Very few changes to the AQP are expected at Piedmont.
