Many FW pilots have really struggled, done poorly and failed in training as well.
As an RTP myself, is there any actual data showing the rotor pilots are struggling, or are people taking more notice of their struggles?
When I went through, without a single failure or setback or issue of any kind, I did see quite a few fixed wing guys fail, get set back, and struggle.
The reason for getting rid of the RTP could easily be TSH being short sighted again and saying we're currently properly staffed - now - so why bother? They have reduced the bonus and they're not even calling fixed wing guys back who have applied, does that mean it's because they've done poorly in training? Over and over again CP pilots have seen the horribly poor planning of TSH and their reactive habits while lacking any proactive management and decision making.

Why are they shutting down the RTP, then? I shall answer your question with a question! Why front bonus money to new hires (essentially how our RTP worked) if you have a sufficient number of applicants to meet your hiring needs? My theory lies in the obvious answer to that question.

He is a special case of awful, and I wish he’d listed me as a reference on his application so I could have saved us all the embarrassment. That’s not to suggest that us RW guys are better or anything of the sort. We’re simply good pilots as a whole just like the other new hires.

We had three RTP in my class and the failures were not them. Are we really playing the “My time as a CFI is more valuable”? The prior airline guys have a valid complaint against us non-airline guys. The rotor v CFI v Military FW is just a d..k measuring contest. FYI we all suck equally 🤣.
