Does anyone else find it "interesting" that Fedex is outsourcing RGS training?
This surprises you after we get e-mails that say, if you call a go around "you had better be right"
Obviously our in-house CRM training didn't get through to a few of our guys, maybe someone from the outside can.

The only time I recall hearing "you had better be right" was in reference to the FO physically taking control from the Capt. What I've most often heard regarding CALLING go-around, is "go-arounds are free."

You are right I miss quoted the e-mail, it was in reference to taking control of the aircraft. However I stand by the intent of my post. Based on the reaction to that e-mail I still believe some of our Captains could use some outside help.

Let's face it ... we do go-arounds/missed approaches so seldom that they are basically emergency procedures.
They shouldn't be, I'll be glad to explain my go-around if it saves me from having to explain a pile of scrap metal at the end of the runway. I Like the intent/mindset change about go-arounds in training the last several years

Feel your pain as I know a few FO's that could use it bit of help too.

Regarding those needing "outside help", it's been my observation that since I upgraded, I find many fewer Captains, and many more FOs needing help. But then again, I fly with a lot fewer Captains and a lot more FOs than I used to. Maybe exposure has something to do with our perceptions?
