I'm told I will find out November 1st, I'm assuming the CRJ since I have no prior 121 experience and just a low hours fresh out of college CFI guy lol.

 

Just show up for EJET class and pretend they messed up your paperwork. ha The CRJ sucks.

 

Haha I will try that, I would definitely like to get on the E Jet but honestly anything is better than a 172 right about now.

 

Total time has ZERO to do with preparedness for the 121 world, and ZERO to do with whether one should pass a checkride or not.

By your logic, United should hire a 50 y/o who flew 5,000 hours farting around in his 172 in rural Kansas over the course of two decades, versus an F/A-18 pilot with 2,000 hours TT.

What matters is the quality of training you've received prior to coming to the 121 world, and the timeframe/quality of experience your hours represent--total time, age, and even specific airlines' training departments can't change any of that.

A 25% washout rate is not unreasonable AT ALL for people taking their first 121 checkride. A training department can only do so much to help people out--at some point people just need to acknowledge they aren't cut out for flying a jet in a 121 environment.

In any randomly-sampled group of 100 people with First Class medicals and ATP licenses, there will ALWAYS be a certain number of people who:

1) Lack the muscle memory, motor skills, comprehension of flows/profiles/limitations to manage a jet in a 121 environment

and/or

2) Lack the combination of motivation and cognitive abilities to remember flows/profiles/callouts, to execute them in a sim, and to deal with emergencies and work with other people in a cockpit environment

I am SO GLAD they are washing out 25% of new hires. This isn't an effing theme park for career-changers who want to play with a CRJ/EJet--it's an airline and people die if you aren't cut out for this type of work.

 

Prior121 let's try to pull some strings for this guy and get him in an EJet class.

 

I think I would ****t and jizz my pants at the same time.

 

yeah some of his comments actually made me laugh, I wanna fly with this guy.

 

Haha hook me up bro!

 

I'm sorry, by my logic? Exactly what position did I take in my post that enabled you to make assumptions about my logic? Those were pure statements of fact as presented to me by a guy in the 8/20 class and classmates of mine in the 7/24 class.

 

Ummmm...you mentioned that the class with 25% washouts all had "3,000" plus total time??? As if that means something for a 121 checkride???

Maybe I misinterpreted your post--I'm just saying a 25% washout rate is natural in any regional 121 class, regardless of the total time anyone in that class had. Without further information on HOW they got their 3,000+ hours TT, no one cares about a 25% washout rate...that's all I'm trying to say.
