From what I've recently heard.......IFL 727 has a very high attrition and failure rate, about 100%. They claim that everyone passes training, but that's only the ones they choose to pass,everyone else is either dismissed, fired, or quits. Pass rate is not the same as Finish rate, where maybe 0/10 finishes training, IOE and the 2 year contract. The ONE and only person [UYUYUTYRFHKOHGH] who is really in charge of training/IOE has a lot of personal problems, and really takes enjoyment in making your life miserable, with failing people, demotion, mind games, or what ever he can do to to hurt someone. To top it all off, the company requires a Promisiry Note for the type rating, holding you prisoner with the threat of financial ruin if you quit or save yourself. So in the end, your lucky to make it out of IFL without any problems, be it either psychological or financial. But please don't take my word for it, go ahead and find out for yourself.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head saying you have to work for us. There is plenty of time to walk away before you have to sign. Some people walk into this job not realizing just how hard it is. Some people just ignore everything we tell them in class about the job. This isn't a "window heat, pitot heat, what's to eat" company. You work long days and night. Sometimes with out a chance to eat or sleep. So you better be prepared. We give you several chances to walk away from our "crap conditions." In the end, you are the one that accepted them if you signed the contract. You can't blame anyone but yourself.
Taking pride in working day and night? Crazy. Lastly,,, speaking out doesn't mean a person would tolerate window heat on, pitot heat on and what's to eat. That is just manipulative and dogmatic rhetoric that needs to go away just like sh---y airlines and instructors with self worth problems.

Are they still hiring??? I have about 7500 in the left, 1000 in the right, and 1500 in the back seat. Obviously typed as well, but not current. Last PC and flight in October 2008. Thanks, L

727757drvr, considering that with your experience, you would be posing a threat to [blah blah], you would be unlikely to pass training. Or as [blah blah blah blah] puts it, "Lots of people just move on."

Well I don't think I know [blah], and while it is an airplane that pretty deep systems knowledge will take you a long way, some good basic foundations on the plane can get most people the level they need. Fortunately, when there is a problem inflight or the box, I know exactly where we are going and what the end result is going to be; just experience nothing special. Besides, relax it's not a moonshot! Cheers

Considering that you work for "Amazon" your inquiry is a bit puzzling. And a congratulations to you, you've made national headlines by stating that you had inside knowledge of Amazon flying!!!
