CX sent a senior pilot to KA a few years ago on some sort of an exchange program.
Senior CX Pilot to KA F/O weeks prior to the introduction of the new SOPs:
" Today, why don't we fly using CX procedures "
F/O ( ex GF ):
" Sure, as long as on my sector we fly using Gulf Air procedures "
Same CX guy:
" These superior procedures have stood the test of time "
I hear they'll be gone altogether by next Christmas .....
