Intriguing!
1) is this procedure new? How long has it been in place? Must be since I left which is how I missed it.
2) Why does PICUS need a "programme" at all? What you describe sounds more like a pre-command training course which is hardly the same thing, surely?
3) What do you mean by "the neutral part of the Orange company"?
4) If this programme is "overseen" by the training dept how does it devolve to the line Captains that are flying with the FOs? How are they involved?
Clearly PICUS must (if done correctly) consist of supervised hours logged but how does "written test, sim check and line check" come into it? There is no provision or mention for any of this in the definition or description of PICUS.
Surely we must be talking at cross purposes? What is described above bears no resemblance to PICUS.
