I wasn't worried. Do the work they tell you to do. Ive watch years of new hire classes learn whatever they felt like a fail or do poorly.

Stay focused, do what you're told, you know... Like a job. If you're worried there's something wrong.

A very few who try to build them.

The candidates that are being hired in the regionals come from a very wide spectrum these days. Some are very rusty having taken many years off. Some just want to try something new at an older age. I could provide other examples, but I think you get the point. Going to GoJet for example might not be a smart choice. And I’m not trying to open up a can of worms about GoJet

And these days they get 2x-4x the sim sessions and chances we got. Can't pass the paper tiger? Fired. Need more than 10 sim sessions to master the Saab? IDK man, find another career, everyone else got it done in 8.

Get bored go through trim and your new hires. Have a bad fo? Go through his trim, you'll quickly figure out you're not crazy.

The only problem with looking at Trim is it doesn’t give any details as to why a lesson was repeated. They could have had a bad day or the sim could have failed. So it’s a pointless resource.

Stupid idea, period. Have flown with 18 year CAs who made mistakes. Have flown with 6 month FOs who make mistakes. Everyone has bad days.

Just had a situation go badly on arrival into ATL when the CA updated the changed approach, but failed to EXEC when I confirmed it. I went to sequence the approach, and was confused by the waypoints. Took a few seconds to realize I was on the previous arrival, and he was on the new one, but it wasn’t active. So we flew thru the course. Quickly corrected, but the mistake was already made. It happens. And it was a “senior” cockpit.
