I would venture to guess that the probationary period for low-time newhires would eventually pack a little more weight. I had one captain opine that we need a whole different division of a supervisory pilot mentor of sorts, kind of like a three month IOE.

One thing I’ve heard from a lot of captains is that even though the mil F-teeners may not have similar airline experience, their trainable nature has them caught up fairly quickly.

Its going to be interesting in any case.
