Do you guys do all your training in Atlanta, or do you have other training centers scattered around?

They will send excess training to other sites under contract when required. Some of the training for the 717 will be done in SEA. I know we have used A330 sims in Europe on a pretty regular basis as well, and I've often heard of guys doing training in MIA, but I don't know what aircraft. |

Boeing has sims in SEA and we've also contracted sim time from UAL in DEN in the past for the 757/767 (and probably NWA did as well for the 744 at some point). |

It's been a rude awakening to realize that SD is no better than those dime-a-dozen slick lawyer airline executives we've grown to expect...but hoped to be done with here.
I must admit, I looked up to him. Cadet wing commander, F-15 superstar, law school, etc. He talked the talk about "integrity." I expected a little more from him. He prostituted his integrity...and why? For his ego? To make a few extra bucks? He's let himself go physically, and he looks like a wreck. And now his integrity is gone, too. It's now apparent the company had zero intention of hiring in 2012. Sure, the lawyers among us will say he left plenty of wiggle room in his statement about hiring in 2012. But the fact is, he intended to deceive us into voting for the TA. Deep down, he knows it. He has to. And so do we. I hope it was worth it, SD. My point was, I stopped listening when they told me GoJets was the "best." |
Amazing how scheduling has the resources to fine tune PBS to get everything it can out of pilots, but it's user interface is stuck in the 90s.
On resv this month and with three days of availability this week I YS a three-day trip. Then I think I might be able to improve my schedule if I take an X-day from later in the month where I have four days availabilty and move it to the day after this YS trip. I'll be in bucket two after this trip, and would likely not be used this Friday if I moved the X-day. But PBS is sooooo far ahead of me. It knew to give me a rest period after this three-day so I couldn't move the X-day. No need for rest period, mind you, with three days off before these reserve days and then one X-day and a week of vacation after the 3-day trip. And no, it definitely wasn't a scheduler who figured that out--they can barely understand why the computer does its main duties. I think PBS is now running on artificial intelligence. |
