This included every single student, whether U-hire, new hire, etc. The newbie ex-military guys didn't know what to expect so they didn't say much.
The U-hires you are flying with are just being polite and exercising good CRM. I don't have to do either on an internet board.
Again, this is nothing against the individual pilot instructors, but the poor system that they work under. The instructors all had good attitudes.
So you think they where being polite. And good CRM to me means don't BS me. Well, maybe but more likely could it be that if you get bunch of uhires together that there going to ***** about anything. I get it, this group has had a rough time. Hired fifteen years ago, double furlough, called back by another airline, then fly with Captains who where hired when you where or well after. I get it, but get them one on one and get an honest assessment and it's a different tune. The most important think in training is new top of the line sims and instructors. The rest is fluff that can be easily fixed. I'm sure the system will be adjusted and the food quality will improve with time as the flow of training thru HTC will increase. If the burgers still suck then go fly the bus at TK.
