That being said, getting through training hasn't made him any less of a tool.

May schedules will be better when the 2 extra daily banks come back.
Back on the dash, 6 plus leg days were common with quick turns on days 2 and 3 and days 1 and 4 were usually 3 or 5 legs.. this was prior to the bank reductions.

I wonder when our line pilots will start to realize the schedules are a byproduct of our flying that American gives us and not the way we sort the pairings...
It’s nothing new, but these schedules are a ton better than last March.

We are at the point that anyone can make it through training, FO or CA. I know of one CA who failed his first try at the jet and then passed the second time, but probably shouldn’t have. Blamed all his failures on the training department when in reality it was all on him. So far I’ve had very little issues with anyone, so training is doing their job pretty well for how many people they have been needing to push through.

Partly. I’ve flown with said party and had talks with he/she about their attitude and how it needs to change prior to upgrade. Speaking down to everyone and having no respect for the people who are involved in getting these planes in and out is not very professional. From the FOs I’ve spoken with, it’s seems to be continuing.
