That's his problem not mine
Actually it's everyone's problem. As an OJTI, it's hard to teach a trainee about CDAs when he/she sees pilots ignoring them. Similarly, as an LCE, it's just as hard getting the 'old dogs' to learn new tricks when we're the only one's making the effort. Granted, not all flight crews are the same, but it seems a bit daft for our company to go all 'CDA = environmentally friendly = good' if no one's telling the airlines to abide by it as well. Not all crews fly into Eefrow so they're not used to the concept.
Next thing we'll be told to file observations when a flight crew don't follow the CDA and we'll spend ever more time hunched over a computer doing paperwork.

Still, a wee claim for RSI would be nice.
