Attention DPA
This post is directly to the DPA committee.
It is high time the DPA addressed the ongoing evil that is the KA training department.
Two more guys just got chopped at the end of their command courses by two clowns with a history of doing stupid, unrealistic checks while being prize screw ups themselves.
It is time the DPA stepped up and became responsible for the welfare of their members and got involved whenever anyone gets chopped on a command, bombs PCE or loses their tick.
This training department has destroyed marriages, careers and the reputations of too many fine men to remain stagnant with the training department any longer.
How can members be chopped so late in their command courses?
Either way the company, the training department and management have seriously screwed these pilots and their families.
When a pilot fails his command he is called in to a meeting with a manager and most amazingly no one else who was in the sim.
Some poor guys have had to suffer the indignity of having their meeting with the same person who chopped them!!!!!
The DPA should be on the phone to anyone who fails immediately and attend the meeting with the member and have the "TIRE" attend for once so he can explain himself.
How can a "TIRE" destroy someone's career and not be made to explain himself?
One poor guy actually completed all his sim drills to the required standard only to be told afterwards that he was too Boeing and hadn't passed. From a "TIRE" with no formal training or checking credentials and an ego that has it's own post code! (Amazing but true!)
Come on DPA committee it's time to get involved in this and stop the training department from willfully destroying one more persons life, marriage and career.
Finally when the new GMO tells the comitte that he is going to sack some pilots as he did recently at a DPA meeting then all flying should automaticaly and immediately be suspended for safety reasons.
We can't have pilots flying jets around wondering if the GMO is going to sack them. This is a genuine breach of safety and can have dire effect on a pilot who thinks he may be about to get sacked. I say no more on this subject as it is too horrible to contemplate
KA is under manned, overworked with moral at rock bottom, sick leave out of control and a lot of the best pilots leaving or waiting to leave in the near future.
That a GMO would even say this and want it passed on to the pilot group is cause for extreme alarm as far as safety is concerned.
Clearly he is not a fit or proper person to be in that position and the DPA should say so.
