"Industry Best Practice"

I'm sure you have been snorkeling a great deal, a special kind of snorkeling for years...

This is too funny.
What management, the SVP, is doing is called cherry picking. He wants to pick the worst things other "major airlines" do and call it industry standard. Never mind that international guys are in the international bid pack at Delta and we can get assigned ANYTHING off reserve. The great things they do, FAR 117, get thrown out with the bath water.
I'm pretty sure this is what FS had in mind when he had a special meeting with the MD11 training guys. Longer training cycles are the key to safety.

you're missing the point. Don't want MORE training, but going to longer intervals could compromise safety in OUR airline. Don't G.A F. what they do at Delta. We need to set our OWN standard practices and not follow everyone else just because Sr. management can't have an original idea because they are worried about their bonus......
