Thought you were a big boy now and able to Command an Aircraft when given the chance however, you now seem unable to learn some information on your own or through the courses and FTW's (Flying Training Workshops for you FG).
As for the KA Guys and Galls it sounds as though it was not introduced very well and that is your major problem!!
This from someone who can't even figure out the "QUOTE" function.
You thought that was a rant.......
There have been many times when I have been told by a C+T about some procedure, or convention or SOP and the C+T has got it wrong. We are talking some major misunderstandings. Not that they do not get it right most of the time, as do we the trainee. However, if the system is so good why are these errors happening ? Why then are Command candidates and FOs quietly having to listen when they know the info to be incorrect (or at least off target) ? That is because the education is being done on line checks by way of checking rather than training. It is because once a checker is given a green light he then goes about his merry job getting progressively more individualistic with regard to SOPs etc the longer he is in the position. Longevity is not the sole cause, brand new checkers with, what I would call lowish command experience in the company, have been coming out with some doosies as well. There is no regular input from these C+T s to the training machine and therefore the errors are allowed to continue. Most airlines have a yearly ground school and training session. We have yearly checks.
