Dear All, I am interested to know who is using markers with their LOFT/
CRM sim sessions. At CX we are now in our second annual period of CRM
LOFT. This combined with our parallel refresher program has produced
some superb results, particularly in situational awareness with our
magnificent cabin crew. With our flight crew the SA sessions involve
CFIT. (how can we stop it!) We see the importance of marking the sim
sessions. Is it valuable or is it critical? Does it go against the
basics of CRM? Is it productive or counter productive? Is it a
re-emergence of the 'check mentality'? Are the bean counters out of
control? Is there a reluctance of pilots/managers to admit they are
human? Do you know how well you will perform on the third missed
approach?(sress!!!!) Let's collate some topics.
I do not want to destroy the enthusiasm of crew who love CRM LOFT by
marking them, for the majority embrace it. Why make it compulsory so
that we detect the minority. Management should be able to detect the
'wrong stuff' and react/pro-act accordingly. Surely our job is to
enhance the airline "RIGHT STUFF"
So, should we mark or not???????
