If they fail out of those training programs they don't stand a chance with ours. Even the FAA inspectors cant get typed through our training program. Both failed.

I meant the interview phase but that does make sense, what you say.

Horizon actually does a lot longer/more in-depth interview than most airlines.

The training program wasn't that hard. Any source for two FAA inspectors failing?

I believe we're the only airline left that does a sim check. It's not the Frasca "equalizer" anymore, but a simple redbird computer sim or something. I thought the training program was great, I didn't struggle through it but also had previous jet time. The Q400 is a real piece of work, and Horizon has made it stupidly over-complicated with our SOP.

Don't have a source for the feds failing, but it is known.

It happened back in 07-08. Retired AA and HA. One eventually made it through, the other was asked to leave.

Sorry, the N for Newb is still stuck on my head.
4 year seat lock still in effect. New hire FO's, Senior Captains. Its yet another reason I voted NO on that garbage TA

That sums it up pretty well.

Envoy does a sim check as well, a Baron G1000 with flight director.
