Let's make something out of nothing...

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, a bright light was shone upon the "training by memo" farce. It was summarily dismissed by many. Sadly, it was dismissed by many of the dudes and dudettes who were to become the recipients of the memos, and also by their leadership. It now appears that some of the chickens are beginning to circle the roost.
(Insert furrowed brows and hand wringing here)
Training, you tend to get what you don't pay for.

For an inspection that was;
1. Not required, but done by SWA nonetheless.
2. Two of three items were completed on this unrequired inspection.
3. Because the third was not, SWA self-disclosed and grounded the a/c.
4. The FAA looked at the incompleteness of the un-required inspections (get it?) and said "Meh, fly 'em until you get it done".
All of it making headlines. I believe THAT is mind boggling.

Media gets ahold of it and = **** storm.
Can you believe the MEDIA would embellish something like this?

I can see more headlines in the future for United with our "new" new normal checklists. On the 756, the FO has to recite all kinds of stuff on the before takeoff that is set on the MCP, and some that is not- such as the name of the SID- however only one pilot now confirms the flap and landing gear configurations.
