Narrative:
I went to gate xa, performed left autoplt/back drive through maintenance. Completed as per maintenance manual on jan/xx/01. I attended lower minimum performance class, one of the early classes, in which we in the class were told at end of class we are qualified. The program has been changed several times. After my class, first I was told I was qualified, now I'm told I am not.
