Line checks are every two years unless you're short cycled. What are the AQP footprints for the various communities at UAL?
The AQP is essentially the same. We have some kind of check every 9 months. It's either a PC or PT. PC is 3 days with an MTV event on day 2 and an LOE (Loft) on Day 3. The PT is 2 Days and is no jeaprody - sort of. The 777 and the 400 have lapse landing sims as required and I believe the same 18 months PC/PT cycle. I just came back from a PC and had a "Data Collector" sitting in the sim on the Day 3 LOE. Apparently the purpose of the "DATA Collector" is to merge UAL's and CAL's training methods - somehow. At my recent PC we were told that the 757 V1 cut profiles will be changing to standardize it across the fleets but they wanted to look at CAL's V1 cut profile before making the change.
At UAL, in most cases, I have always found an adversarial relationship between the Standards Captains and the pilot being checked but in recent times this attitude has changed somewhat.
