Away from the details I think that Traveljunky knows what he is talking about as he was in training at your company and describes a lot of things that only a person that been in training there knows. What I have seen lately is that Traveljunky is not alone in his opinions and there are more like hime every day. Maybe it is time for your Company to stop and maybe start looking over things......who know it may be good for the company in the long run.......but it would not surprice me if the attitude is "Nothing wrong with our training" let's keep on with the same strategy. Who cares we lost tons of money on our training department last month.... or..who cares we had to pay tremendous fines to NW for all the flights we had to cancel due to lack of pilots.. at the same time that our wash out is among the highest..........it is just the stockholders money anyway......etc etc.......but hell no, "we do not need to change anything" "Our training and training department is Perfect and we are the greatest Regional to work for".......Keep the face Titanic.

Congrats to the new hire...look just bring your clothes and documents with...you shouldnt need anything else. I just past my checkride here and to tell you the truth the people here are great. No worries there. There are a number of people that don't make it through so when you get study study study...and when you think you have studied enough study somemore. You should have no problem. They have changed the training a little..they have these things called CPT's that are graphic flight display trainers and they are touch screen so you get to work in the cockpit and see how the buttons work rather than sitting in a cardboard box. I believe you have 6 sessions...then you go to the sim 8 lessons then your checkride. Ground school there are approx 6 test 3 of which are spoon feed to you but the others you need to know cold limitations, memory items and systems. Like I said study and you will do fine. Other than that the company is growing fast and you pretty much get the base you ask for...at least that was the case for our class. You should be able to upgrade in about 2 years max. Some, if you have the hours, are upgrading in FO ground school. Well I hope that helps...if you need anymore intel...PM me. See you on the line.

On another note. If you read my postings I never mention your company by name and I do not say it stinks or anything drastic I just say my opinion and it is not an opinion regarding what you think or not or what you will do or have done or not. My opinions are not about you man......
My last post was about Traveljunky and not about you.....
You sound like everything is about you and you sound like the ones that say...."or you think like me or you are against me". I am not against you even if it is impossible for you to understand.
You say you know all that is wrong and that you will work to change what ever you can. Great, my opinion is just that, to help, to make more people than you and a couple of newly hired on the line and happy know that there are problems and more serious than many wants to admit and that there are no control over some things and no will to change them.
You dont know how I know things. I may be within you company or maybe not. I know more about what is going on than what you seem to do and that is why I have my opinions.
Even if I would work for the company I would not have any problems about people being critical. On the contrary the critical ones are the ones that in the long run makes us better. Be open for different opinions and do not get so personal when they do not match yours.
You react very hard any time anyone say something critical about your company. Relax and understand that everyone have the right to their own opinion. Hopefully there will always be many different opinions about things even within your company....
There are different opinions about all Regionals and all issues on this Forum and it is all part of what the Forum is all about.
