Urgent update from the Council meeting on Tuesday 25 January
It is the considered view of the NZALPA Air New Zealand Pilot's Council that the CBT-style "self study" package currently provided to pilots - the subject of which is significant change to the most critical phase of flight - is deficient in both the quality of the presentation and the provision of adequate instruction.
The Council feels this training is of such import as to fall outside the scope the "Web Based Training" provisions of our CEA.
The NZALPA Air New Zealand Pilot's Council strongly opposes the this current "self study" methodology for the provision of significant, safety related training such as the current "PBN Approach" CBT package, and requires that all NZALPA Air New Zealand pilots be properly facilitated to conduct this training. Facilitation is to be taken to mean the provision of a rostered training period at a facility suitable for the completion of such instruction (including any examination), and under the supervision of an appropriately qualified instructor on the topic.
Could all pilots please request a properly facilitated training period for this training from their fleet managers regardless of whether pilots have already completed the CBT package.
So sticking to the facts:
I don’t see any mention of an RQ day in the update from ALPA, do you?
So when is “web based training” not “web based training”? When the Air NZ Council decides that it is not?
