I believe it is unprecedented in this region
Not true check N33° 49'04 E35° 29'10.
MFF is not that complicated when there is a
synergy within the airline. The work? Applying one unique standardization on both fleet.
Some highly ranked people think that being seated at 6m iso 4m and flaring at 50 iso 30 ft should be a privilege...or they just realized that the A320 fleet network demands a bit more than they are willing to give to best new leading airline.
The process has been slowed down many times. Etihad (management) should stop taking GF as an example and copy/pasting ideas, rules and procs without thinking! They realized that GF was only MMFing 320/330 their instructors...not their "common" pilots...If at GF they are stupid enough not to use the full flexibilty enabled by MFF, let them do!
If MFF hasn't become a reality by March 09...something could be wrong (another excuse like MFF safety survey, 330 staff shortage, what else...?)
