A NON (QUALIFIED) EFIS FO WAS DISPATCHED ON AN EFIS EQUIPPED ACFT.

Narrative

THE PROB IS; THE COMPANY SCHEDULING CONTACTED ME THE MORNING OF JUN/THU/95 WHEN CREW ARRIVED FOR 1ST FLT OF DAY FLL-TPA FLT XXXX. STATED YOU WILL BE REPLACED FOR THE 2ND AND 3RD LEGS SO YOUR FO CAN BE EFIS TRAINED. FLEW THE 1ST LEG WITH THE FO. IN TAMPA; INFORMED BY TRAINING OFFICER THAT THERE IS A PROB. SHOULD NOT HAVE FLOWN WITH FO WHO IS NOT EFIS TRAINED. DID NOT KNOW THIS AND STILL DO NOT HAVE A STATED POS FROM COMPANY AIRLINE ON THIS ACTION. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 309987: COMPLETED DHC- 8 EFIS GND TRAINING DURING INITIAL IN FEB/XX/94. I NEVER HAD BEEN GIVEN EFIS FLT TRAINING. ALL EFIS ACFT (4 OUT OF 4) WERE USED IN FLORIDA EXCLUSIVELY; AND WERE EXPECTED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY (AS PER COMPANY MEMO). RECENTLY; I WAS TRANSFERRED TO FLORIDA AND CALLED THE TRAINING DEPT TO NOTIFY THEM OF MY STATUS. THEY INFORMED DISPATCH AND CREW SCHEDULING. ON JUL/THU/95; UPON CHK IN; I RECEIVED A COMPUTER MESSAGE TO CALL CREW SCHEDULING. CREW SCHEDULER INFORMED ME THAT MY EFIS TRAINING WOULD TAKE PLACE TODAY. I CONFIRMED WITH HER THAT I WAS TO FLY MY CREW (SHIFT) AS SCHEDULED. SHE DID SAY THAT I WOULD BE FLYING WITH 2 DIFFERENT CAPTS. THE ENTIRE 1ST LEG WAS IN VMC AND THE CAPT EXPLAINED THE EFIS/ELECTROMECHANICAL DIFFERENCES. THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL AND I WAS JOINED BY ANOTHER CAPT FOR LEG'S 2 AND 3 AND THE TRAINING CONTINUED. HOW DO I KNOW WHO IS AUTH TO PERFORM EFIS TRAINING AND WHO IS NOT? IT TURNED OUT THE CAPT ON THE 1ST LEG WAS NOT. DISPATCH AND CREW SCHEDULING HAD A COM PROB. DO THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL? I CHKED THE COMPANY MANUALS AND FOUND NOTHING REGARDING EFIS TRAINING. THIS SUBJECT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE COMPANY MANUALS SO THAT WE HAVE A SET POLICY REGARDING EFIS TRAINING. ALSO; DISPATCH AND CREW SCHEDULING NEED TO DEVELOP A SYS THAT ENHANCES COM AND PREVENTS THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN.
