Nosmo,
I am pretty sure that it does. I think during BK they took away sick and vacation credit counting toward toward greenslips and also lowered the pay to 1.5 vice 2.0. You can guess what happened - guys stopped putting in for greenslips. You can check your time card on I-crew - it will show the GS trigger and how much credit you have toward it.

Hi!
Aircraft size vs. Memory Items:
J-41 (30 seat turboprop): 27 Checklists with memory items
Falcon 20: 17? I think
DC-9: 14
KC-135R: 5
The NWA emergency instructions were almost identical to the KC-135 instructions....
and...just looked at 747 emer for charter co.: Rapid Depressurization: Memory Items....0 (except to get out the QRH)....sounds just like NWA.

I've now been through both the fDAL and fNWA courses and they both do the job of getting you to the point you can operate the aircraft safely and deal with problems via the QRH. The fNWA system is a much more relaxed course and I know I came away with a better understanding of AC systems than I did in my 88 training. We were never asked any limitations during the course, but we were tested on them during the sim sessions which really shows if you know them better than reciting them to an APD over the table in the briefing room. The biggest complaint I have about the fDAL course is you have guys studying another aircraft the month before training which I see as a potential safety issue.
I'd prefer the fNWA system, but it costs more money so I'm sure we will go with the fDAL system.

Anyone know if you have to have every visa required in one base to pick up an out of base GS in that base, or only if you are trying to pick up a trip going to the destination requiring the visa?
Thanks...

It sounds like the philosophy between NWA and Delta is fairly similar. NWA got rid of memory items completely. We had a red-bordered checklist in front of us for critical items. It was assumed that common sense items like putting on the oxygen mask with smoke in the cockpit would be done. This item was on the red bordered checklist anyway though. As far as limitations went, we were not required to recite them verbatim, but we were expected to not break any limitations in the sim. This required knowing the limitations, but took the stress off of us caused by flat out memorizing them. We showed up to the first day of systems class cold. No prior studying required. It was kind of nice. I'm going to miss that when I'm studying full-time for two weeks prior to going to class. It's going to be frustrating flying one aircraft while studying for another.
Delta had once done away with all memory items on the 757/767 which was half the fleet. I don't know about the other aircraft types. Sadly a new FAA principle inspector took over and did not like that so we were forced to put memory items back in the program. What the FAA wants and requires varies from region to region. Often the airline has no choice.
