AWAC does have AQP but it is for recurrent only.

Classes are anywhere between 3-14 but average around 8

Can't give you a number on a washout rate because there are too many factors...many beyond the control of AWAC. But...

...the majority of new hires are making it through...but a much smaller number are doing it in the designed footprint. Also, another problem is how long new hires are staying on IOE.

AWAC, and to a smaller extent, other airlines haven't forgotten how to train people to fly our airplanes and while improvements can be made it seems that candidates are coming a lot less prepared.

By this I mean, it's not that they don't study, they are just not ready. Mostly due to lack of general experience in airplanes.

Also know that Air Wisconsin does give plenty of chances to succeed, including extra training sessions and bringing them back for additional training. But like most airlines, we can't be preschool or remedial school...the training budget is there to teach our procedures and how to fly our airplane...not make up for a candidates deficiencies.

It is important a candidate seek out a diverse range of flying experiences and have highly developed basic skills before applying to an airline.
