He would not have upgraded at AWAC, he would have been the second name on the training department's list of lifer FOs. I would be shocked if he even decided to attempt upgrade training at PDT. He can just sit as an FO and continue to be babysat until he flows to mainline, as apparently others have done when they failed upgrade training. Scary stuff.

Oh well. Look at the Brightside then you won't have to babysit him anymore. Now the problem will be trying to find someone to replace him. Good Luck with that.

I guess he'll be your problem before long! Good luck with that

Exactly why American is not even top 5 on my list. I can't imagine flying with someone that terrible for the rest of my career. Who knows how many like that are sneaking through the cracks with that no-questions-asked flow. I can only see that pilot group going downhill for the foreseeable future.

Maybe he realized AWAC would be going downhill much faster in the foreseeable future. Do you blame him?

Not for nothing, but AA weeded out some of the problem children from Envoy after they flowed. Why would this pilot, if he's as bad as you say, escape from training unscathed?

The issue I mentioned concerned QOL. Try to keep up!

I'm sitting here hoping you are right. But I have already heard of people that can't pass upgrade training at their WO regional flow up to mainline due to their seniority. Maybe they've improved, or maybe they just sneak through the cracks. Who knows...
