How did I "sugar coat" anything? How am I helping the company? All I did was ask a question to which you and the others have yet to answer.....What do you expect from training? AT ANY AIRLINE? Do you believe that there are instructors at United or American who teach because it is their passion and would forgo the pay override?
What do you consider worse? or better training than Atlas? How do you quantify your statement and where is your comparative analysis?
crickets.
You are correct. There has been so much worse in this industry in training. No ACMI has better training than Atlas, maybe with the exception of ABX back in the day. ABX "ate their own children" and made life miserable for new hires, or so I have heard. Funny, our TC sits on 36th Street. Maybe a historian should give a talk to new hires about Miami aviation history. It would be amusing, and I am somewhat proud to have survived those trash bag airlines. I asked our IBT rep in the TC about failures, and he didn't see a change in the percentage, only now they are training large groups on the -400 (hence 3X the failure rate). HR has thrown some knuckleheads into 767 training, but for the most part I see a lot of pretty sharp folk on the twin. Washing out guys who maybe shouldn't be on a flight deck is a good thing. A good student who listens and has the requisite skills should not fail the program (especially the 767 program).
