Several airlines I have worked for have made CRM an assessment point in sim recurrent. One airline would make every second sim session a CRM only sim and use low light cameras to record your performance for de briefing.
It really highlighted your weak points in participating as a crew member and I recall how many unresolved discrepancies we ignored, despite thinking our performance was stellar under the heat of battle.
But most airlines don’t do that.
Most airlines sim training is simply box ticking to keep the regulator happy no matter how irrelevant or non-threatening to real world line operations the exercise may be.
We get really good at V1 cuts and single engine NPA’s but that’s NOT what is causing accidents in western airlines. There have been some very close calls here in the US resulting from ABYSIMAL decision-making and poor cockpit management.
AA 737 over run, Southwest 737 over run, Southwest 737 nose gear collapse, USAir RTO after liftoff, DL MD88 runway excursion, Southwest 737 landing at the wrong airport, Dreamline landing at the wrong airport.
Complacency, normalization of deviance and my favorite – RUSHING, are becoming so common in this game that it’s a wonder more metal does not get bent!!!
And pilots have become too spineless to stand up to the on time pressure being placed on them by the airlines they work for.
Just my opinion!
