FedEx MD-11 FO LCA's
#41
The rub is we are not talking about instruction which all of us agree some of our finest flexes are fo's who give instruction. We are talking about check rides where these new PCA's will be administering them to captains as well as first officers. The policy was done away with before because it caused hate and discontent. Now that there is an excess it just escalates the problem. It may be contractual but so is 4a2b which I don't think anyone is too crazy about these days. This good ole boy "throw bones" to guys is bs. Advertise the job for a captain the way the LCA system is intended and get someone who has the line experience and the clout to hold it. I am "standing in front of the mirror with my chest puffed out and my hat with scrambled eggs" on right now.

With our stellar MD-11 safety record, I'm more than a little surprised that the company is willing to press ANYTHING as regards MD-11 training. How do you think this looks to a Fed studying the MD operation?

Part of the problem is some are confusing PCA and LCA. PCA is a flex, paid as a flex, scheduled as a flex. PCA does not check in the airplane. PCA isn't even the top certification for flexes.
FedEx has a big problem getting captains to apply for the flex jobs. There are postings open almost year round.
