Synopsis

B767 Captain determines that the online training he has received regarding the new QRH is inadequate.

Narrative

I have been thrown to the wolves by a large corporation trying to save costs. I have never been so unprepared for flight duty in my 25 years with the airline. Last night during flight planning I read the bulletins and noticed the new revision activating the New QRH Handbook. This was my first look and actually touching this NEW QRH. The training I received through the [online] Learning Network was inadequate and did not prepare me for the size and scope of change. I delayed the flight 30 plus minutes while I reviewed this new checklist. I hit some of the highlights such as (Hot Start-No Start-Hung Start); (Compressor Stall after Takeoff); (Duel engine Flame out); (emergency Decent); (drift down). It became very apparent to me that I am not prepared to safely operate commercial jet aircraft for this company. I am the one who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the flight and the well being of my passengers and crew members. I need additional training with an instructor to become familiar and comfortable with this new checklist. Therefore I am removing myself from flight duty until I receive the training I need.
