This company has MAJOR problems with standardization, mediocre sim training, inconsistent manuals and a group of check airmen that don't even know what's in their books let alone how to teach someone to operate in a 121 environment. I believe that Fairmont was a symptom of these problems. That's my point.
Stay safe.
So its like "Here are the books for you to pass your written exams and the checkride. You'll figure out the rest on your own flying the line" ?
You guys think there will be Saab upgrades? I spoke with some F/Os recently who want the upgrade but are holding out for the Saab instead of the 1900
