Either I am failing to communicate effectively, or you are not reading effectively. I will go with the former for now. Do you actually think that this is the first time that some one has proposed your idea?

Do you not think that a Boeing, or Airbus does not come with a factory checklist, FCOM and a standardized training program? Why then would a business owner, (Airline), train their pilots under a different program at a much higher expense? Hmmmm must be a reason for it.

Me thinks that if we all have to read from the same checklists and standardized procedures.....we should all have the same paychecks

Sure a jet comes with a factory checklist, but without continuously reinventing the wheel, what will those who make a career out of the schoolhouse do? Those guys will argue for a week on the placement of a coma and then post a revision explaining how much better our lives are now. I’d like to know how many one and only, latest and greatest procedures something like the 727 had.

Was he the one that rolled the 727? Guess that's a 1 for not knowing it.
