Good point. If you're a new-hire thinking of coming here, make sure you're 200% prepared. Training here is challenging.

I will post any information I find out via phone call on Monday.

I interviewed in ORF last February, they said they did it there so people didn't get stuck in Wisconsin in the winter.

Are saying the training department isn't helpful if someone needs a little extra help?

I assume any initial training is going to be challenging due to the volume of new info one has to digest is a short amount of time.

The training department has always given extra sim time to people, as long as you show you are really trying. Although recently I've heard people are racking up 100+ hours of Ioe, aka 5 trips 4-day trips, when normally it's only 2 4day trips.

I LOVE my OWP for all these new guys needing OE. I have had three free vacations in the last three months. Take all the OE you need.

Training department is top-notch. They'll work with you as long you show the effort and have the fundamentals down. They won't teach you how to fly a VOR approach or track a radial.

What does OWP mean? And what's the difference between IOE and OE.
Can you explain the free vacation part? Do you get paid time of when someone requires IOE in your place?

I'm new to ALL the 121 jargon, thanks in advance for the help.

I'm guessing OWP means "Off with pay"
IOE Initial Operational Experience
OE. Operational Experience

They are the same thing, different airlines use different jargon. Usually your first 30 hours online where you fly with a Check Airman as you get used to the aircraft and operational environment.

Are you able to bid to be with a Check airman or is this something that happens random? Does OWP usually only available to senior FO's? Sounds like a sweet deal!
