SkW takes care of training failures, too. Fail a transistion, no problemo... just go back to your previous seat. Captain or FO.
But, fail an upgrade, and you're not eligible to fly or even throw bags for SkW... ever. Even if it put your family out on the street. Just making sure that I understand what taking care of folks means... every single one.
That goes without saying; I'm talking about the fact that the majority of our pilots (pilot to pilot) will happily fly reduced lines in order to keep the JR guys on property. I also understand that every company has their fair share of Slaphappy's………………………………..everyone’s got them and nobody wants them (except Mgmnt).
