If the above information and revisions
are reviewed beforehand, there should be no cause for concern,
in that the IQ curriculum focuses on these specific changes that
are in effect now - and others that will occur as the year
continues. We all must make an effort to keep up to date
on these changes and ask questions if something is not clear.
Your AFA MEC Air Safety, Health &
Security Committee is working directly with In-Flight Service
Training and their curriculum development team to clarify issues
that come to light during the various classes, ensuring the
material remains consistent, accurate and does not go beyond the
scope of the approved IQ program.
Please direct any issues/concerns and
questions to: MEC Air Safety, Health and Security Committee (jelliott@nwaafa.org and ghelton@nwaafa.org). We are committed to
continuing to monitor IQ training and Member feedback. We'll also be 'auditing'
the Aircraft Qualification training when it commences in
August 2009. Let us
hear from you!
