Probably not all that productive to dwell upon perceived shortcomings of this or that individual ?
Well said, JT, yet I expect this will be ignored to some degree.
Why?
Simply because a few apparently are looking at certain statements by some, who positively
know what they are doing, and follow the AFM...versus...those that might well have come from 'other airlines', whose operations were tailored for their specific desires.
As in...'Well, when I was at BA, we did it
this way'.
Quite frankly, I couldn't care less.
Nor does the company.
If some folks bring these attitudes to the present, they are politely requested to shape up or ship out.
If they continue, a 'Don't come Monday' letter is issued.
In our particular case, Lockheed issued quite precise recommendations/instructions on how to operate the airplane and the present airline management is simply not interested in accomodating those who think they 'know better'.
Simply because, these few folks do absolutely
not know better, as has been proven time and again.
