TAA started the preparation of their course in 1983 by engaging UQ to design the whole thing.
Course was called ATM, Aircrew Team Management. I still have the manuals as I was one of the facilitators.
First courses were run in 1985.
With regard to QF, they were told by the authority that they needed to get on board. Two captains were on a course I was running with another pilot when we were informed the QF pilots had put in an objection to CASA, or whatever they called themselves then, asking that the course be shut down because it was encouraging FOs to questions the Captain’s decisions!
Maybe embellished but can certainly confirm the QF captains were not comfortable. Time moves on and QF now have a strong CRM course.
Have done many different CRMs since and found great variety in value, I think a lot of this is past its use by date.
