Chip,

Of course there are those at LL who might be more amenable to EFPS if they 'understood it' more, but by no means all. I think I understand EFPS pretty well, having been on the LL EFPS Working Group since it's inception, the LL Tech Com, and been involved in various meetiings, hazard analyses and Human Factors workshops, and an EFPS instructor in our sim.

As far as I understand it, from my contacts at KK and SS, there was the usual anti- feeling prior to the training, but as the training progressed, and familiarity was gained, the general feeling became more positive. We have nearly finished our training, and the majority opinion is still against it.

I know EFPS. I know exactly what to press and when. I know which button to use to get the desired outcome. I still make mistakes in the sim. I am by no means alone.

I will agree to this though; the view of T5 from the new tower will help us. Not sure about the rest of it though!
