Uhhhhhh……the name of that two weeks is “Indoctrination.” In this instance a synonym for cheerleading.

Good point!

But I’m still going to fuss, 🎵 cuz I’m a pilot!! 🎵

my regional was 5 days of indoc with a test on day 6. We could definitely get indoc done in under 2 weeks.

If it paid 4+ hours a day at regular pay instead of training pay we would complain that it is too short.

all days should pay 5:15 IMO

They're on training pay anyways

New hire training pay as it is set up now needs to go away. 4 hrs/day with a minimum of reserve guarantee for all pilots including new hires would be a great start.

How does United handle training pay?

if I remember right from skywest any ground time paid 2:1 and any sim time paid 1:1. So it was 4 hrs/day for a 8 hour day in ground school and 5hrs/sim event because it was 2:1 for the brief time and 1:1 for the 4 hrs in the sim. Training guarantee was 70 hours a month but many (including me) broke training guarantee. OO also paid new hires different that line pilots like delta does so this only applied to transition/upgrade training.

United pays 3 hours per day for every day (including days off) during new hire training.

this would also be an improvement

Cool. But I still would want mor substance and less fluff.

Edit - Actually, I don’t care! Not my sandbox. Shorten it, lengthen it, been there, done that, got the wings.
