Absolutely they can. It’s spot training and seat specific. Until the MV and LOE. Must have a qualified seat filler. Happens all the time. Ca/ca usually breeze through in the footprint. Fo/fo esp new 121 guys will end up w 15 sim usually. It’s about the Training. At AA I went through w a Fo new to 121.

Yeah probably so, especially since Envoy DEC’s are getting ORD now. Oh well.

I'm paired with a CA transitioning, so I don't see why they wouldn't push him through. The DEC apparently took a few sim slots so I'm sure that's part of the reason for our "break". I'm ready to work PDT! Just give me a chance!

im not the type of person to say I a toad a so, but you know what, I toad a so, I ********n A toada so.

Those people starting sims quickly....they will be in sims for a long, long time.

You can pair up two CA or FO trainees in the sim. You're only evaluated on the stuff you're supposed to know.

From what I was told by a buddy that was FO/FO in June, the FAA has stopped allowing FO/FO checkrides here. He and his partner got split up last min for LOE.

Perfect. Everyone else does it, but nah let’s find more ways to complicate things for Piedmont.

Yes during check rides at other places you have a seat sub, usually another instructor. However during all the non checking sims your paired up fo/fo or ca/ca depending on staffing needs.
