RAT 5, I don't know who you work for, but that sounds a lot like some issues at my airline. We have a structured decision model, the the NITS PA framework. The training department have started realising that they were training robots to follow their sequence almost no matter what the failure.
They are now trying to emphasise that the key issue is making the decision, and that one does not have to go through a full set of drills all the time. However, this is shall we say taking time to trickle down to all the trainers.
The fundamental problem with a very rigid approach to SOPs as practiced by the major LoCos is that everything in the manuals is treated as a diktat, and has led to checking that is biased towards making sure everyone is "following the script."
