Default Q400 Failues

Horizon now has a 60 to 70% failure rate on MV and LOE for the Q400. This can’t be blamed on new inexperienced pilots.
Experienced Captains are failing also.

Not for long... if that's true the FAA will be all over them.

I'm going to go ahead and wait for a reputable source for this one. I don't think the claim holds water. The Q pass rate was pretty high just a few short months ago, I really doubt it has taken such a turn for the worse.

It's the training department. Many people know why this is. I don't believe it's intentionally designed to keep people there but it may be having that effect. Don't hold your breath waiting for that reputable source or the FAA to shake things up.

Default Reputable source

Ask the unions training department they are well aware CQ, MV and LOE failures and the FAA has threatened to revoke the AQP program

Default Advice if you interview say 175 or nothing

This post is for those interviewing or pending a start date

Refuse the Q and tell them you want the 175 and save the hassle
