At least I welcome the professionalism, education, dedication of these new hires with no jet experience who know their SOP, fly by SOP and are very fast learners. Yes they will probably have you keep an eye on their Stable Approach as they learn to fly jets but they won't violate you at least. They have less training failure than you and your senior peers. I'd take one of them anytime over one of the lazy, bad pilots, who have enjoy a cushy life at NJASAP for the last 17 years.
I agree that there are pilots that have miraculously not been fired for training, SOP, or various other issues. That said, not changing anything in the training program to accommodate the lower experienced pilots that are becoming the majority is not a wise choice. They do learn quickly and do well in training as the vast majority of pilots here always have, but they also have vastly less experience than the previous generations and not accounting for that in any way is foolish.Originally Posted by SonnyTuckson
We already managed to keep safety a priority despite the few pretty bad pilots, who couldn't get hired anywhere else, that have snaked themselves through the nets of recurrent check-rides for the past 20 years, mostly not bending metal thanks to the nanny sitting in the other seat. Like these 2 senior pilots trying to bend a 350 at TEB just months ago. We surely have a decent training program for having survived these anti-SOP, inapt outliers.At least I welcome the professionalism, education, dedication of these new hires with no jet experience who know their SOP, fly by SOP and are very fast learners.
