Shortly,
I take it you don't support the popular AQP method of training, which is popular in the United States. We are just the opposite over here, AQP is less imtimidating than the old method.
I guess CX has it reversed. I would take AQP over traditional. If you guys perfrom AQP the same way we do, you'll notice there's less jeapordy events.
Isn't there plenty of gouge for training at CX?
Just wondering...

I would be a supporter if it was applied in practice as it is discussed in theory, but it never is neither here nor over there. I have no problem with 'no jeopardy' training but there must be a place for standards and standards checking. In a previous life crews from Asia that we failed in a tactical training course went straight from us to the US, obtained their qualification then promptly killed themselves and a couple of innocent other crew members. nope give me standards and their maintenance anytime.

Just read the above thread. Albeit somewhat outdated, it was an interesting one for someone just about to apply. My question is, should anyone with knowledge have time to answer, is there a career to be made in the cargo division. Being european, the european bases suits me fine but it seems like most people transfers to mainline.
Is CX cargo a good place to set up a career or is mainline the place to be if you go for CX?
Appreciate your help...
Thanks,
Kads

Shortly,
In ref to your mention of those abnormals.With AQP we see of that type stuff more than we ever did with the old six months checks.Six month check are so repetitive and ever body knows the scenarios the FAA is looking for.The standard of performance with AQP seems to me to be better than ever with the check people more willing to hold back or retrain people that don't perform well on the maneuvers validation.Then on the Loft (the check ride) portion the checker sees more of the real knowledge the pilot has of the equipment as they don't have much of a time restriction and you have to make real time line operation decisions.
