Our current training completion rate is 78-80%
The 20-22% includes pilots who have gotten hired elsewhere JetBlue spirit etc, failures, and paperwork issues.
Our training dept. Instructors are a group of original PSA guys, and a good amount of 15, 20+ year Comair instructors. They know what they are doing. They bust their tail to get you completed successfully. We have given some students up to 12 sim sessions, 75 hours of IOE, we have even given a plane to one to do t/o and landings. Let's face it though, some people just can't do it and we let them go.
Do you really think a guy that has failed out of our program will tell you "yeah I can't fly, are you hiring!"

That wasn't my experience at all. Every instructor I interacted with during training went very much "by the book," sometimes it seemed unreasonably so. But, hey, they're paying me to do it a specific way so I guess that's the way I'll do it. Several prior 121 guys in my class were complaining about the training program the first week during indoc, but they didn't make any similar comments after we started systems. One could easily conclude that some of the instructors are previous design engineers at Bombardier....Rob B knows his poop.
