Speedbird and Lowerlobe.
As you know I agree with 99% of what you have to say.
However the 2 weeks training is more than sufficient for the new CSM"s.
The new CSM's have been CSS's for years and most of them have operated as a CSM.
REally ! what is the problem!
The only ones that need training is if a F/A is going to be made up as a CSM and that" aint gonna happen"
Actually it would be insulting to think that the CSM's need more than 2 weeks.
Apart from learning all the J/C procedures what else do you want them to learn.
So come on lets get real here!
Anyway as stated most of the CSM's will be from LHR and all those BOSS people.
