I take offense to because I flew for Silver and I am now at RAH, maybe my transition from silver to RAH was different but I got thru it and I went to the 145 which by far is the hardest training program at RAH. I am also looking at seniority lists and class sizes and your numbers do not add up with how many people pass to the class size that starts. 28 is a big number in class, biggest I heard of was 20 and looks like that whole class passed. Second of all when an extra sim session is needed they have no problem giving it to the pilot. What that in mind your story does not add up and second of all do not come in bashing other airline. I will always miss flying the 1900 and whatever happened between Silver and I is for the better of my life but I never complain to looking towards the future and QOL. Thank you take care guys, props to my boyz, Chrisw, DPPilot, Sandwich, and yes you too Nancy!
Well I had already talked to someone that had gone through the interview process so I knew somewhat of what to expect. I was more interested in finding out as much as I could about the training program because one pilot I talked to indicated recent changes made. I am sorry if I came across as bashing RAH. After rereading my post I enforced that it was a good company that anyone could be proud to work for. Great company people. The Pilots were all helpful when jump seating. Kick ass equipment. Yes their training had holes and room for improvement but whose docent? Believe me or not about 28 in a class but it is true and same with the wash out rate for my class at least. Yes they only usually hire 20 a class, how ever in class before mine they had a good number of people not show up for training. Got hired by other companies and did not let RAH know. So they hired more ppl taking that in to account. Mabe my class was one in a 100 but I am being truthful and accurate on this. Like i stated before their were changes going on when I was their.
