Does the usage in the FSB Report (rev. 17) of the term SLF, meaning Supervised Line Flying, mean that SLF here needs to be differentiated, from now on?

Wondering what the actual aviators conclude about the pertinent questions and issues, when they've read the "Special Emphasis Areas" (Section 9.2, pp. 9-11); as well as Appendix 7, "Special Training for Flightcrews" of the 737 MAX (pp.65-67) ("No pilot may operate the 737 MAX unless the following ground and flight training specified in this appendix has been completed.")

Logically and based on the structure of the Report, even an uninitiated observer (SLF, of the Forum definition) can conclude that operators already have very high fidelity with extensively detailed training requirements. This set of requirements, though, at least makes it relevant to ask, are operators of the 737 MAX ready, willing and equipped - in terms of both personnel and equipment - to perform all of the tasks? (And then there's the pandemic's airline depression. . . .)

A small detail point: Appendix 3, "Differences Tables", uses an abbreviation or acronym not identified in the document, near as SLF-WR can tell: ATA. What it is, s'il vous plait?
