Its not so much as an overload, as it is impossible, albeit improving, to put stuff together whether it is in the contract or flight ops.

My favorite is do you know where the alternate weather minimum chart is? The chart that will tell you whether to add 400 & 1 or 200 & 1/2? The FOM will specifically tell you to go to the AM, if you go to the AM you'll be hard pressed to find it under Ops Specs or Tables & Codes, rather its in the Jeppesen introduction section on pagbe 129-130... but its not indexed.

How about this, what is a QRH for? To me, it is for nothing but emergency and abnormal checklists. But yet it is where you go to see how you should perform a runway/intersection change checklist, CB policy and deferred maintenance items, why? And why do I have to fish within a section for checklist deemed vital enough to memorize?

Seriously, there needs to be a revamp and its probably well underway given the improving quality of materials coming out of flight ops and the training department, so I won't give any advice other than to say: An FOM should be all of the Delta Air Lines related material including section 3 of the AM, Vol 1 should be about flight procedures and take a chunk out of the QRH and put in Vol 1 including abnormal/emergency profiles, and the QRH needs the revamp that the SLI's say it needs.

My guess, honestly, this will be corrected at some point.
