I know most, if not all, ppl in my class haven’t flown since the preemployment flight test so it’ll basically be a full year that most of us have been out of the cockpit so to say that we are all probably rusty is an understatement.

ALSO Obviously there’s a huge difference between being proficient and being current. Considering we are in the business of safety doesn’t it bit odd that we are only required to do EBC flights to remain current (not proficient) so we can do flight checks (709s, cfi initials, etc.) I’m interested on everyone’s thoughts on this.
I hope that you knew the ASI job wasn’t a big flying job.

And a lot of the flying you do us the right seat/observation/evaluation type of flying correct? Do I think it is a little weird? Yep. Does it seem to be a long by held part of the job. Yep. Seems you have to recognize safety

If you’re looking for more flying - keep your eyes open for an ASIP position on USAJOBS.gov.
