You're right Turbo, what next?
CRM and HF are embedded from the very beginning in todays training regimes. Whilst it does no harm to have the usual subject matter revisited regularly, I can see why the more experienced could become jaded by that, especially if the delivery is lacking in energy and originality.
The trouble with CRM is its need to be driven by the culture of the airline/unit/operation that's asking for it. They have to find their own path and if the management doesn't support the training, the material doesn't interest and, worst of all, the CRMI lacks the ability to inspire, then it's no wonder that some of us end up questioning the status quo
But I find myself going back to tbc's comments about the CRM toolbox, and aircraft management could be yet another tool without necessarily driving the direction of CRM as a whole? Same goes for TEM, I feel more comfortable with TEM by treating it as an intrinsic part of CRM.
Sorry Turbo, does that take us back to the drawing board?
