What do they typically get?

Keep in mind the FSDO would have to approve it, and that would involve the creation of a complete training program from scratch and then the FSDO would have to review it. We are talking months of work, at a time when HQ needs about 2 hours more per day to get done what they already have on their plate.

I swore I heard at the last place I worked that all airlines had to switch to AQP within a certain time frame per FAA Regs

Its not that its shorter, its that it would free up sims because you would only go in once a year instead of every 6 months for recurrent. Anyways, I'm sure its just a crazy rumor started in the schoolhouse and there's not much validity to it.

Where are you getting your info? A search on a random day in June shows no Compass flights to any of those cities. Some don't have direct flights to LAX.

Internal company memo, which we shouldn't be sharing because AA hasn't announced some of these routes yet...

Without AQP, our training problem would get worse. As you can't train to proficiency on a standard PC or Type ride, like there is on an MV. So more unplanned sims and rechecks. Especially if we get less experienced pilots.

Like someone else mentioned I believe an AQP program is a FAA mandate. I don't think Compass could go back to a traditional check ride system even if they wanted to.

You mean the routes that Eagle, Mesa and Skywest ALREADY do for AA Or Mainline AA has done at one point? Since when does a regional shift entail an announcement?

BTW do we have 575 pilots yet?

I had the understanding that the end goal of the AQP program was to move to an 18 month cycle eventually. There would be two 6 month recurrent events and then what we do now as a 12 month would be at 18 months. The 9 month ground school would still be in there every year too.
