Internal company memo, which we shouldn't be sharing because AA hasn't announced some of these routes yet...

I still had to go every 6 months before my last company had AQP. 6 month was a LOFT.

Without AQP, our training problem would get worse. As you can't train to proficiency on a standard PC or Type ride, like there is on an MV. So more unplanned sims and rechecks. Especially if we get less experienced pilots.

Like someone else mentioned I believe an AQP program is a FAA mandate. I don't think Compass could go back to a traditional check ride system even if they wanted to.

You mean the routes that Eagle, Mesa and Skywest ALREADY do for AA Or Mainline AA has done at one point? Since when does a regional shift entail an announcement?

BTW do we have 575 pilots yet?

I had the understanding that the end goal of the AQP program was to move to an 18 month cycle eventually. There would be two 6 month recurrent events and then what we do now as a 12 month would be at 18 months. The 9 month ground school would still be in there every year too.

This may change as they re-align their pass policies with US, but right now they suck. It's also worth noting how they staff these airplanes... if Delta catches wind that there are AA dedicated crews (which there aren't likely to be), they will also lose their DL benefits.
