Sure. Maybe they didn’t get the upgrade provisions we got. But do they know default to the second highest class? Default to C+ regardless of equipment? Lots of ways for them to ride the coattails of C19, and I imagine they did benefit. I do know they got the rule changed to board “any time once passenger boarding has begun” in line with the new C19 provision that we got.

Are we seriously not going to talk about this new captain leadership recurrent training. 2 days in ATL to tour the OCC, have Flt ops feed us koolaide and then, my living hell, listen to other captains tell “how you did it.”
I hated in person recurrent, listening about crazy scenarios that they miraculously handled perfectly, you know, just food for thought. And every captain has to attend once every 5 years. I’d rather do an extra sim event. We have great stuff in the topics of interest, the safety magazine, and the QCQ hot topics, what PTC group think dreamed this up?

I chuckle that you say "what PTC group dreamed this up." Other pilots were saying the exact same thing years ago--when we got RID of the in person day of CQ.

I have no opinion on this new captain leadership course, as it was just announced. However I don't see in person discussions in the negative light that you do. If it is just a bunch of wannabe sky heroes recounting their exploits, then yes, it is all a bit much. However I have found that you can get a whole lot of positive info from real discussions with real pilots vs the LMS stuff (and yes there is a lot of good info in various places). I never "hated" the in person day of CQ. One year we actually had some ATL controllers do a presentation. Very good, and impossible to replicate with some LMS module.

If you live in ATL it's not a bad deal. 10hrs of pay and you can stack it with reserve days in a way to make you more difficult to use. I did the initial DCLC during upgrade and found it to be generally useful. Yes there were a few eye rolling company koolaid moments but most of the discussions were quite good. I enjoyed being able to ask questions to the management people from the OCC, IFS, and even Chuck S. who came to give a presentation. Even the WWYD discussions are a way to get different perspectives on how to handle situations, and at the very least read between the lines of the facilitators' discussions and get an idea of the general company stance on that situation. Of course if you have a good reason to, resolve it however you like, but knowing where the company stands is a good reference point.

I find sims and line checks that naturally become tailored to me are very useful, I’m not hating on in person training. And I would probably dislike it less if it wasn’t going to force us all to travel to VA Ave, I think that’s the kick in the shorts too far for me.
