'This attempt to train by bulletin, while ignoring serious safety concerns and well-established best practices, runs the risk of dramatically eroding margins of safety,' the union representing American Airlines pilots said.
The post went on: "This attempt to train by bulletin, while ignoring serious safety concerns and well-established best practices, runs the risk of dramatically eroding margins of safety."
The spokesperson said the changes have been in the works since 2021 and have been done in collaboration with APA's training committee, adding that the "approach to familiarizing" pilots had been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. While Tajer said self-study is a normal part of how pilots train,"A reading assignment is not proper flight training." He added that pilots received the materials in early December, giving them a month to review them, which is"1/12" of the time they would normally have to get familiar and train on similar updates.
"The FAA requires airlines to have robust safety management systems that enable employees to report safety concerns," the FAA told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. "The agency reviews those employee reports daily to ensure the safety of an airline’s operations."
