He's saying that the 40 options are for the CRJ900 series aircraft. That's in addition to the 900's currently being delivered and the 700's coming from Envoy later this year.

 

 

 

 

The June 23rd class started with 24 new-hire pilots. 5 washed out.

 

I think that there are more people that leave for other jobs (majors/lls'c, or higher paying corporate gigs) than fail out.

Even with people that are doing well in class that leave for other jobs, it has been more than an 80% completion rate for quite a while now.

 

and how many are stil there after probation?

 

I believe this is an answer no one knows. I can tell you every month I go up 15-20 spots in the seniority list. This doesn't account for the 48 who went to AA. Once they finish training, their name will be removed from the list.

 

A few questions:

Can someone please give me a summary of the training events from day 1 through finish including duration and time between each on average? (Indoc, Systems, Sim, IOE...etc.)

I live 1.5 hrs drive from CLT and am mainly trying to get an estimate of how long I'll need to be away from home at any one given time for training.

Do they allow/encourage/discourage going home on weekends during training?

When does health insurance begin?

When do the travel benefits start for yourself then family?

Thanks

 

Ground school takes place in Dayton. You are there 5 weeks. Typically, unless any major holidays fall during training, it is Monday - Friday, with weekends off. It is broken down as follows:

Indoc: ~8 days with an indoc test and limitations test
Systems: 4-5 days, followed by systems test
IPT's: 10 sessions (with systems review each day as well)
End of Course Exam: 4 hour oral exam in a group of 4 trainees
CSI: 3 sessions

IPT's are integrated procedure trainers. They are non-moving sims consisting of 7 touch screen monitors set up like the flight controls.

CSI uses the IPT's, but incorporates a full flight, with an emergency, and a return.
.......................
After ground school in Dayton is finished, you normally get a week or so off and then take your oral in Charlotte.
.......................
After you finish your oral, you normally get 2-3 weeks off before reporting to sims. Sims are in Charlotte or Cincinnati. You do not get to choose, they assign you. Sims should not last more than 2 weeks, depending on schedule, maintenance/breakage, and how you are doing in the lessons.
........................
After sims you get about couple weeks off, and then do your IOE.


You are paid 75 hours a month during training, and per diem the entire time that you are at any training event.
