independent perf calc EK
Mr. E D has issued an urgent FCI (flight crew instruction) requiring both pilots to perform performance calculations independently..fair enough but we all know why by now. Three FCI's have been issued today alone - the other day one reviewing the manual loadsheet procedures for any of us unfortunate enough to be scheduled to operate the 777 freighter version perhaps once in a few months and I wonder why a loadmaster isn't employed to handle this 'unusual' procedure for most of us..another accident waiting to happen? This airline has a serious problem with information overload; policy/procedures being changed almost daily all while we are inundated with videos about how to do a proper PA, uniform standards regarding chewing gum and hat wearing, and the list goes on. My perspective is perhaps too simple but it seems to me in light of the observations above I think I can spot the train wreck a mile away yet the focus of some people in 'charge' is tainted.
