Unfortunately ther seems to be the attitude by both the regulator and most company mangers that CRM training equals CRM in the cockpit on the line. Unfortunately my experience is the practical use of CRM concepts is fundamentally a function of company culture. How the chief pilot and line check captains apply CRM when they are out flying the line will determine if CRM is actually happening in the day to day flying ops. My experience has been that one small operator I once worked for had no formal CRM training but a very strong company culture that embraced all the traditional tennants of CRM. Pilots that didn't "get it" did not last long. Conversly I have seen larger companies that had an extensive CRM training program, but pretty much a complete absence of of applied CRM outside of the classroom.
