The FAA’s NPRM surrounding CFI changes has not won over our friends at the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators, who say it fails to address a few key aspects while creating a permanent CFI certificate.
As the gatekeepers of all future, high-level aviation, CFI standards must be strict in weeding out the dangerous, the incompetent, and the lackadaisical. The new system, however, is “only designed to save the FAA big bucks while continuing the same mind-numbing Flight Instructor Refresher Courses”. ALPA has confirmed the FedEx Master Executive Council (MEC), the governing body of the union’s FedEx unit, voted to approve a tentative contract agreement with FedEx management. Next along the long and tortuous road to an equitable labor contract is a membership ratification ballot that will open 05 July and close 24 July 2023. The Ryanair Transnational Pilot Group (RTPG) has published a request on behalf of the European ULCC's working aviators, calling for the company to “share the unprecedented economic success of the airline with its workforce”. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
