Well...they hire guys and give a ground school date. However they also say in the offer letter that there is no guarantee that one will begin the flight training portion directly upon completion of ground school. You are paid for ground but not while you wait for flight training. So while you wait to be called for flight training you either find another job or hopefully you had enough vacation saved to attend the ground school in the first place. I know guys that waited more than 6 months to flight train.

Heck man 15 FO's in the pipeline waiting to be trained? They can only train two at a time and they train in the aircraft they use on everyday routes. No one will train at night and all the training captains are all timed out where they can't fly anymore during the day. It's ridiculous. They bought a redbird sim and they don't use it. At least not when I was there. I swear they are trying to just run the company into the ground. No one can be as dum as management is there. It's really hard for me to believe! Alright I'm done. I'm not going to say anything else on this thread. I'm sorry for my rants.
