AW also has a single type fleet.
OO has to have instructors for 2 types, and then within the CRJ, there is an additional 700-900 training event that has to happen. LCA groups have to exist for CRJ2 CRJ7 CRJ9 & ERJ175. This means there are more training events and more line checks in order to fly the line than a company like AW. It’s simply not an apples to apples comparison. |

this is true that it takes more, the thing is airline pilots can only fly one thing at a time. The amount of resources is the same to take a person from zero to hero regardless of number of fleets. The only thing that takes a little more resources is when someone upgrades into a new fleet, this take more sim time and ground school, but OE is the same regardless. Also Skywest has sim slots that go completely un-used right now while other companies have zero sim availability. Everyone else is hitting a wall with sim availability cause Skywest bought it all with no ability to use it all (smart move)
I don’t know where you’re getting this information from, but it is 100%, without a doubt, incorrect. |
121 Pilots aren’t interchangeable parts even in a single type airline. Both line check airmen and captains are a critical resource that can’t be renewed quickly. captains take about 18 months to grow minimum
If, as cited, air Wisconsin is losing 10% of the list monthly, they will lose all their captains in 10 months. Assuming they upgrade everyone on property that’s left and backfill with fo’s it will be 8 months before they can start a trickle of captain production again. game over. None of these mass hire rates are remotely sustainable for attrition |

According to 121.439, landing currency can be reestablished under the supervision of a check airman, and this can be accomplished in the airplane or sim. My understanding is no, you don’t need to be current to start IOE.

maybe some sort of acquisition / consolidation is in the cards? (Pure speculation on my part.)

true, it’s not the planes I was referring to, but the pilots.

Shut an airline down, and the pilots will end up getting acquired eventually.
in 10 years they would be Captains at a Major or LLC. Just looks at past history when this has happened… A solid good regional only prolongs your stay there… |
