That guy looks unhappy. His posts from Boutique air to ExpressJet show his unhappiness and him inquiring on pass rates show that he struggles with training.
Sorry Froyd moment.
The people that failed weren’t a shock.
Mostly military guys.. with the checkride. 2 to be exact out of
18. One civilian guy who failed his oral. First 121 gig and did fine on the reshoot.
Here’s the deal most people that come to any regional only have that training to compare it to so if they fail it’s the trainings fault not their own.
Gojet I found to be fair and focused on what you needed to know to not only pass but be safe.
We had a guy from another airline who agreed while it could be better GoJet did a good job for what it is.
Memory items, limitations, know what every switch does and the limitations on that you have your oral almost down cold.
Checkride you’ll have 10 sim rides to get it and honestly it’s easier then AQP because it’s just the maneuvers. AQP puts you from flying a helicopter or a Cessna to being a line pilot flying a SID/STAR with very little experience.
Do folks get it? Of course but it’s just my opinion that new folks do better with learning line flying on the line.
Okay so recap: a lot of folks unhappy with base closer. It’s a kick to the gut for the long term folks.
All regional training is what you make of it.
Come to Gojet if it makes your QOL goals happen with the expectation that we’re in flux right now which could go really really good with the 550 or not.
If you’re flying a Cessna 182 please do yourself a favor and try to go fly a King Air or something.
I enjoy it here. The people make it worth it. Everything else I just chock up
to the typical regional mess.
