Era Aviation hiring for B1900
#71
Anyone here have experience with Era? What is their training program like? better/worse than run-of-the-mill regionals down here? I ask because I have several friends who've made it at a couple different regionals, and several who've been "asked to resign" before the check-ride - all of them have said (and these are at different regionals) that the training was shoddy at best; that they were rushed and not given sufficient sim time to feel comfortable.

Regarding training at regionals, some are known to be filled with hardazzed instructors more than others. A freind of mine went Eagle almost ten years ago after flying boxes in Commanders at night in IFR for a yr, and they insulted and bad mouthed his flying all through the eval sim; then said, "we'll let you know". This sounds like military style training, but not sure. A month later they said yes, but he was at Comair by then--don't worry for him; he's at Delta now.
At XJT 10 yrs ago, an instructor told me they were having to retrain left and right, because the syllabus was based on transitioning from the ATR to the EMB-145, but most of the new hires had never even flown a turbo-prop. The instructors complained, but the company stance was to keep the syllabus short, BUT if you need some amount of extra training you got. At that time they really wanted you to succeed and if you had a good attitude, you were given a lot of leeway. 2006, I spoke to a guy who came over from another regional where new hires were just being recycled through until they passed. So it depends on the level of need at the airline. Of course this was prior to the 1500 hr rule.
