Aqp question

Does an fo initial LOE take 4 hours? Seems like a long time for one persons checkride. It's scheduled for 2 hour prebrief, 4 hour flight and a 1 hour post. Is this overscheduled? Just trying to plan flight home.

Post-brief is about 30 minutes as long as you performed satisfactorily.

In anything it's the opposite. You work more days and get less credit on the 200 due to the short legs.

Last I heard he was at Fed Ex as a sim instructor, but that lasted less than a year. He interview at Spirit in 2015, and words got out. Our old LAS chief pilot (who was also an old 2006 hire Pinnacle FO) found out and made sure he didn't get hired. Pink slip's name came up when I flew with the old LAS chief, which is how i found out about it.

That's true but that's not the reason why people hate him. Some of his comments and questions during check rides rub people the wrong way. I would not want him around our training department, I can tell you that. The way he gives check rides would not work very well here.
