I don't care what they call it, Aviate, or whatever. We line pilots don't get to vote on whatever programs management dreams up.

As long as management sees the wisdom in hiring mature and experienced pilots with a reasonable amount of decision-making time (PIC TIME), then it should be fine.

What we don't want is line Captains giving primary flight instruction to new hires. It really does take about 2000 hours to put a pilot in a good position to do well in both the training program and to come to the line and be competent in all phases of the job.

We do not get a vote on this program, but we do get to vote on our contract. Scope will not be relaxed. Why? Because we know what management will do if we relax it. Bye-bye mainline jobs.
