[QUOTE=OOnewb;2806299]I hear that you have strong feelings about this issue, and I respect that. I'm trying to get a feel for what the actual policies and practices are in training on the pilots' side at OO, though.
What counts as "disrespect" or "disruptive behavior"?.[quote]
I don’t work for SKW. But, for the most part, training is training amongst most airlines. The old saying goes same airline, but different logo.
Being belligerent and arguing with the instructor in front of the class would be a sing of disrespect. Issues should be brought to the instructor in a polite and professional manner during a break or at the end of the day away from the rest of the class.
In my 40 years with many different carriers both in the US and abroad, perhaps one or two new hires were invited to depart and embark on their next adventure. Of course that was before PRIA. Don’t know the consequences PRIA would have if an individual, as an employee, were released from training today.
As far as tardiness goes, aren't most trainees expected to take the hotel shuttle to training? I meant more in terms of coming back from breaks during the day. If you are a minute late back from a break, do you get written up? Or do you just have to throw $5 in to the pizza party fund?
In the U.S. a couple of minutes late? Probably not as it take a few minutes for the class to settle back in to the training mode.
