Good Evening, I hope 2020 is running smoothly for you all so far.
TR2 (Tech Refresh)
Due to some unresolved issues, TR2 has been suspended indefinitely. Right now, there isn’t a fix action for the issues that the two key sites have been experiencing so we are on hold until those are fixed. For those that are unfamiliar with this project, the two most visible changes included in TR2 for us are the larger monitors and the removal of EBUS. The FAA is planning on mandating 3 person or mids or using holdover OT during software updates once EBUS is gone. Data Com’s timeline is running independently of TR2 so that should not affect when we get this capability.
IST Cadre
The training department is planning on doing IST slightly differently this round. We will be looking for 2 volunteers to teach the entire 2 weeks of IST. There are a couple facilities in the area that already do IST this way and prefer it. The cadre class will be either April 7th & 8th or the 9th & 10th. Teaching the class would be during the weeks of April 26th & May 3rd. If you are interested in this and available, please let your area rep know.
