I think the Southern side has held some level of standards for training but the Atlas side I can assure you is just as Anne states.

The only standards at Southern are the minimum FAA standards. In essence, there are no standards.

You think that you know who you are talking to but you don't.

What you should do is crawl into the same hole.

These are opinions, people are entitled to their opinions.

How about the FO in the Texas crash?

Currently, a 747 FO that cannot land nor safely taxi without constant help. Failed multiple sections of training but management still finds a way to pass this individual with multiple sessions of extra training. Why? they are afraid of a lawsuit being filed against them.

Has this been brought to pro standards and safety in writing? If you know about it and do nothing you are no better.

The problem With expecting the training center to fail everyone who is no good is if you give someone enough sims eventually they will pass. That may be whats happening. We used to have a program to watch these guys and make sure they didn’t fall back into old habits that got them so weak but I guess we abandoned that as well.

I will say there are at least a few guys I know of at southern that for whatever reason interviewed but were told they weren’t qualified to work at atlas but somehow we’re ok for southern. That makes zero sense to me but hey what do I know I fly planes not work in hr. I agree with others providing gouge for your own interview is ridiculous.

I believe this is a Southern thread. Not an Atlas thread.

When the EFB breaks and they print a trip kit, where is it then ? Isn’t the EFB just an approved substitute of the printed material?
