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 JP 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.

Not everyone has an ATP. We are providing them with a career path and giving them options. Yes, as I've said before, this job isn't for everyone but it is for some. It's better than being a CFI and not getting any airline experience before moving on imho.

We have to work to get there. Coming here gets you an ATP without having to add to your already giant student loans. Once you get your ATP, lots of doors open up. You can stick around and get some PIC time in the falcon, get some big jet experience in the 727, or go to the regionals or wherever. It all depends on you long term goals. There are lots of ways to get to your final destination. This is just one option. It's not easy. If that is the sort of thing you are looking for, then you're better off being a CFI until you get enough time to go straight to a regional. This is some of the hardest flying you will do in your career but it's also some of the most rewarding.

I'm curious DHassenger and Godaddy, lots of us have posted our great memories of IFL, care to share specifically what your problems were? Where did you end up instead? Or are you indeed just trolls?
I'm sure I've said it in here before, but my time on the 727 at IFL will be the best days of my career.
