Guess we have to convince our own pilots before we can convince mgt. Couldn't convince him.

Don't you just love guys like that? Always advancing the profession and trying to raise the bar.

You must know somebody, my CQ's are 90 minutes of briefing, not 60! :eek::D

But I agree, it's a 6 hour scheduled training event with 10X the amount of 'problems' any line trip ever threw at you, and if you stub your toe, you are in hot water, so it should pay 6 hours!
