Fohnwind. What on earth do you fondly imagine can divine about my CRM from calling a cocky little sprog a cocky little sprog? Read the damn post to see why he deserved to be called that will you, you cocky little sprog.
tipsock, For no-signature automatic (handling sector only mind...) P1u/s your company has to have approval from the CAA and this is given in conjunction with an approved command training system. You'd know if your employer had that, but in any case you are going to learn far more, far better from your line Captains over the years before your command using the traditional method than from a synthetic three day "command decisions" course. I think one reason big airlines dislike the proper system is that it instils Airmans..Oh! God, I nearly said it again! well, you know what it instils and the big companies don't like that as they see it as a threat to their rigidly inflexible SOP, automatics and magenta line training system that turns out identical, unquestioning, sometimes unthinking and above all obedient clones who all toe the company line because they simply aren't aware that there is another way to fly - ie by using your brain. It may sound odd to some of you in rotary where I expect that unmentionable "A" word is still regarded as important. In the big loco world that word and it's concept has been utterly banished for a decade or more - trainers never ever use it (I never once heard it used in the training environment in almost 15 years) - it is simply not considered the correct way to operate in SOP land. New f/os arrive on line not even knowing what the word means as they have never heard it before. Incredible but true.
Make the best of the good, working system you have to become a proper, thinking pilot and absorb the collective knowledge of your Captains.
