Washout in training... Speaking to newhires making it out to the line, they report most passing, maybe one person not making it through in the class. It is still a firehose, and almost every case of people not passing, from my class to today, the general theme is that the failing student never studied with his classmates. In some cases, people get stuck on one thing, like programming the box, and they refuse to move forward until they figure it out. You can't do that here.
I also find it interesting that some of our new guys that have come over from another ACMI report our training program to be easier, more forgiving.
Regional guys should expect a heavier workload, faster pace than where they came from.

Hey guys, I’m set up for the March 11 class. I was wondering from the time you complete the check ride to starting familiarization flights/ IOE or even seeing some flying on your line, about how long is it? Do they move us through pretty quickly?
