This is really bad news since she has made a history of suing people who question her competence, both here and in her previous career so I think the "fair and unbalanced" approach to her training is already compromised. If you're the FO that has to fly with her after her impending retraining, I pity you....

I heard one too many times "...lets just hope they never fly together...".
It's still being said.

Boy, isn't that the truth! What a great tool that was. I know of no other way of identifying those who are quirky and nonstandard on every flight, then clean up and become exemplary on their line check and annual recurrent training.
I wonder if we could start that thing back up on the ALPA website? Just a thought. Then maybe professional standards could use it.
Interesting story how the negative airman list went away, though...someone at this company needs to write a book about the last 20 years from a personal pilot perspective, not a business one...

Never worked on the MD-11 since FOs and Capt have different line numbers. But you can do your own negative airman list as an FO since FOs bid the day after CAPs. They can just exclude the lines with trips their "favorite" CAPs have on their line. It worked for me for years bidding around my "favorite" CAP and ACP, C "Hey , don't you know who I am? I was an AA at UT and a Blue Angel" W!

That is one of the benefits of having f/o's and s/o's bidding a day after the captain bids are awarded. So now if you find yourself flying with your "favorite" captain, it's most probably your fault, unless of course he (or she) got it on VTO or reserve. Oh well.
