I am a retired B747-400 captain from a major South East Asian airliner, who has flown for the last 20 years for this airline.
Now back in country, somehow I got to know that a small airline, which recently started to operate, has officially implemented in its training programs the following:
1. Simulated Pilot incapacitation by declaring an emergency in-flight with passengers on board, involving ATC, fire services, and the whole nine-yards....and not advising the cabin crew about the drill, and of course not giving any explanation to the passengers on board after landing...:ugh:
2. Starting a program to improve interpersonal relationship, cockpit-cabin crew, by having the cabin attendants starting with a walk-around and seating in the jump seat for the day, and furthermore getting them involved in A.T.C radio listening, learning how to shut down the engines, lowering the flaps and others....I donīt think that the local aviation authority knows about it...but who knows, itīs a weird country and weird things happen here...
Does this sound right to you all......?????:eek::=
Iīd like to hear your comments.
