“If it’s so bad....why don’t you leave?” Believe me....I’m trying. Most of us FO's are trying.
Look....I get it. I worked for a failing regional and understand why someone needs a job......any job. But understand that you will be distracted (during our pathetic minimalist training) and will lose focus on the prize. Getting to a well paying successful major with good prospects for the future. THAT is your goal.
Why would anyone come here?. There were NO POSTS warning me when I applied here. NONE WHATSOEVER ��. If I saw them I would give serious thought to wasting ANY time at this place.
We have pathetic minimalist training?
No doubt we have issues—-)(lots)(—but the training?
I kind of liked not having stacks and stacks of note cards and a defined oral that wasn’t left up to the examiner to ask how many steps are on the crj pax door...I think 7 but I just said I wasn’t on weight watchers so I don’t count steps.
My only issue was they didn’t leave much room if you did need to repeat a lesson and that totally messed up the schedule.
I thought training was fair and laid back but I’m on the 190 the bus guys always seemed more stressed, if you want the full experience I think(could be wrong) SWA does it old school no AQP.
As for 80 to 90% seems a bit high but this is APC world so I won’t question that number.
