To the comment about what is essentially a master seniority list like what other unionized trades do, like IBEW, etc. Doesn't the union provide the training? In the airline world, wouldn't the airlines have to give up their training departments, and have ALPA provide all the training so each and every pilot could go from one shop to the next as they see fit?
I don't ever see this happening, but I think airline management would love to rid themselves of training overhead.

I’d like to see the FAA force standardized training. Same flows, procedures, call outs and profiles all based upon the aircraft, not which company is flying it.

I was surprised to learn as a nube to civilian/121 flying a year ago that each airline has its own checklists, call outs, etc. for the same airframe. You'd think the FAA would force standardization just to simplify things for themselves if nothing else.

If you have paid attention to the problems with the 737 Max lately....the FAA does not force much of anything..

Checklist and procedures are changed to reflect each airlines particular culture. An Asian airline does not have the same culture as an American or European airline.

In some cases the FAA is instrumental in adding items to a particular airlines checklist. A good example is, an airline suddenly has a rash of attempted takeoffs without flaps set, let’s say 8 in one year. The FAA may suggest, if said airline has not already done so, that they add a flaps verification in several areas of the checklist.

Where oh where will they go......
And hey anyone know the deal with those DHL tripples? Heard Southern was getting a few but with all the Atlas/Southern family drama I’d think Amazon and DHL would want to diversify more.
