Sure enough, this guy (who was a great guy….or a good $h!t as the AF crowd would say) was simply not ready to be released to the line. I got to be a part of two of the worst landings in a 737 that I’ve ever witnessed and it was all in one day. UGLY.
I spoke to the CPs who asked me to fill out the Probationary FO report and to be brutally honest. The captain that flew with him before and called me to give me a heads up supposedly filled one out too.
What happened? Nothing. The NH in question just finished a 3-day with three different captains, none of which were check airman. Bu**$h!t!!!
That sucks! But then again, no telling on how they're gonna handle it, but as long as we provide accurate and brutally honest feedback via probationary FO reports, then it's on them. Also, you can fill out the form on your EFB as well...
