New-hires Beware!
#101
This is a good a place to ask as any - and didn't want or need to start a new thread. But what happens to new hires who are not performing well in training - especially in academics. Lets say a failure of a single test or two failures. It happens. But how is it handled at EDV? Are you given a chance to withdraw? **** happens - just wondering what others have seen. Lets suppose you and Training agree this is not the place for you....
PTs and sims? They're more forgiving if you're putting in the effort and showing some improvement.

An announcement announcing future additions doesn’t improve flight hours today or in 6 months. You’re trying to say “look over here at all the new shiny things coming” when the current state isn’t indicating a need to ramp up hiring even more aggressively from current levels. Classes are already healthy sizes, new FOs don’t fly over 30 hrs, and it takes how long to hold a line?! The only reason I might have missed the announcement is because I yawned through it.

I’m simply forming my opinion based on current conditions vs management’s “future”. I respect your opinion, just stating my POV. Looking back at your post history, you seem to be very pro-management or a Propel grad 🤣

They'll need 10-20 new pilots per month to staff the new aircraft, and 20-40 a month to keep up with attrition. Your flying will go up. You will hold a line. It will get better. And if you don't believe me, there are plenty of other places hiring.

Yea this isn't the near instant upgrades and shortly after, line holder of a few years ago. But ask the guys that started at Mesaba 15-17 years ago how fun their career has been... Or heck fly with a 20 year MSP captain and ask their perspective.
