The sad fact is, here on the big bus, it is a requirement to have knowledge of over 13,000 pages of information (not including the DG manual). How is a newbie supposed to have a knowledge of what's important other than the FCTM, and the FCOM? The rest will come with experience. But much of the training/checking is on the OM-A and Lido documentation. I remember that during CRM recurrent it was asked what were the stabilized approach criteria. In my class about 1/4 of the guys got the right answer. Our documentation is the pits, and a newbie is supposed to have that knowledge?
