We have continue to assert that Pilot Hiring, at least the interview pilots, understand that it’s not a Pilot Instructors job to perform remedial training in basic airmanship. Similarly, Pilot Instructors and Evaluators should understand that an LCPs job isn’t to provide core competency flying lessons.
If weak pilots are still showing up on the line, it’s a Captain’s responsibility to mentor, debrief, AND complete the probationary report based on observed behavior and performance. It’s our collective responsibility to callout unsat performance and document it.
Look at today’s snapshot and notice all of the Delayed Pilot spots. 1 year captains are going to be the new norm for the foreseeable future.
