Nope. I was in Miami this month and AQP is coming to the 76 as well. LOSA observation flights are on the way soon too.

Really? I heard 747 was first, but did not know sim was critical piece to implementation. Hmph.

LOSA started around Nov 1st...I spoke to a LCA that was in the middle of several at that time. I've got an LCA riding with me on Sunday.

That intro is irritating. But I just remind myself that someone's parents paid for the 4 years of graphics arts education that created it.

And then once upon a time I was young and enthusiastic too, so I need to cut the guy/s some slack.

Anyway, I took Carlson's message as being positive. The industry is cyclic, and if things are slowing at Atlas at least management wants to use it as an opportunity to "polish the apple", and Lord knows that it needs some polishing. Most other MBA lead organizations would be talking about "restructuring"/"right sizing"/"reengineering".

Maybe it is a form of the Stockholm syndrome. But after years of Texas Air management I am just extremely grateful to work for people who are at least trying to run the airline.

And it may all change tomorrow.

All I think whenever I see it is: "Now, with the fake news, here's Jeff Carlson."

Yes to the AQP, not sure what you mean by the "recurrent" style annual training.

Not that I know of. Like someone else pointed out, 74 first then 76. Maybe the 777 will just start out as AQP
