They are very heavy on FO's right now, and I think they are using this as an excuse to cut back numbers.
Unfortunately, the days of Air Wisconsin being that airline who will "give you the training you need, and will work with you on additional sims" are over with. Hate to say it.
You sound pretty bitter and it sounds like you didn’t make it.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Usually if one has to repeat CPTs
then needs additional sims, that’s not looking too promising. Also when
Being evaluated, they will also take into consideration your attitude,
abilities and if they deem you’re trainable. Lots of factors go into this.
They’re not just going to ask one to leave for the sake of asking one to leave.
First of all, they invested a lot of money into a pilot. And second of all,
nobody in management gets any joy or pleasure having to tell a new hire
that this isn’t going to work out and we need to ask for your resignation or be terminated.
From what I’ve been told, if you voluntarily resign, you can reapply in six months.
I still keep in contact with a few instructors. One of them told he he had one such type who came
back 10 months later and did very well.
It is pretty tough to get to that situation. But if you’re having to repeat
CPTs, that’s a huge red flag and then you’re being watched. Then you get to the sim
and struggle and don’t do well, that’s another huge red flag.
Did you crash the sim when being evaluated?
There are plenty of aggravating and litigating circumstance they take
into consideration before making that ultimate final decision.
