For those in the know: which aircraft would you recommend and why for us new hires?
Personally I am concerned primarily with Quality of Life, getting to SFO ASAP, and having as good a schedule as possible. Thanks for any input!
I'm a new hire just finishing IOE on the 737. I was a 5 May class start and I could have held SFO on this next vacancy bid. I can't speak for quality of life yet, but I thought the training in Houston was a terrible program. I have a C-130 for the AF reserves and CRJ at Skywest background, and that's what I compared it to. Basically self taught until you get to full flight sims. All CBT for systems and the beginning training on VNAV and FMS was marginally helpful for line operations.
