My God, the Ansett Flight Department spin lives on!
You guys are incorrigible.
People would joke you could never, ever get a seat in BS's office because they were taken by ambitious F/Os.
And theirs was never a true reflection of the line pilots, more what BS wanted to hear.
I too am witness to foreign airlines Airbus procedures. To suggest they are comparable to the basterdised Ansett FCOM a pipe dream.
Like most exAN pilots abroad, transition smooth, more to do with 6000 hours on type than clumbsy Ansett FCOM.
Full FCOM was thrown at pilots overnight and during administration. It was amatuerish with training and feedback that consisted of a phone call from a Boeing Management type to ensure manuals received and fully understood. Many hadn't but to be outspoken would cost one their job!
Hip Hop it was sound advice to fut_airpilot to seek manuals beyond Ansett. Our mumbo jumbo might cost him his sim ride at Dragon or Air China.
