Interesting. I wonder why the Seattle Satan allowed a mod without considering all the pitfalls, and why it didn’t affect other company fleets…
MAX aside, this begs the question of company changes to QRH and normal flows. Manufacturers go to great lengths to establish procedures that work for aircraft X, only for a management pilot to decide his way is better. Unless you are harmonising across fleets from different manufacturers, why is this OK?
