will call back each of its 12,000 pilots for additional training aimed partly at bridging the generation gap between veteran captains and younger co-pilots, or first officers.
Wasting everyone's time. A talk-fest. A typical lip service exercise. What is needed if the company is serious, is not more feel-good additions to the various manuals or exhorting captains to be nice to their copilots. It should be a lot more raw data handling in IMC during every simulator session. More purely visual approaches and circuit handling in the simulator. Get rid of the flight directors during simulator practice.

I very much doubt if the company will encourage pilots to practice manual raw data on line. Most wouldn't know how to, anyway. Each session should include 50 percent manual raw data no automatics. It is the only way to reverse the trend to automation addiction. IMHO
