I have been trying to figure out what has happened nowadays! NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN AIRLINE TRAINING! All of a sudden no one can pass a checkride at 1500 hrs? I am on my 3rd regional and the training still seems the same!
I was hired at Comair in 2006 with 1200 hrs and 200 multi. One out of 16 in my class didn't pass! Not long after that they dropped the mins down to 250hrs! We had alot of those guys get through training with less problems! Fast forward and now it's ATP mins an still no one can pass training for a regional airline!
I really don't get it!
It's because your assuming these people are carreer aviation students that now have 1500 hours. In reality it's literally the same crowd that had 1200 hours back in 06 when you got hired but could never get selected or pass an interview. It's a motley crew of people who could never get on at a regional before this shortage provided them new opportunity.
