I've read the entire string and no one mentioned something that I think is important. The 10 % thing is probably true, what is different is how hard the companies will work to get you through training. Our mins are so low that the number of people getting through in 8 sims has gone down drastically. One pilot got 80+ hours of IOE!!! Once they have you in the program and spend money on you, it is in their best intrest to get you through.

80+ hours????? You have to be kidding? Anyone needing 80+ hours of IOE to learn how to fly a plane should not be a pilot. This is another reason not to hire low time pilots.

Hey Wiggler.... I know what you mean my T-37 Primary instructor was an ex marine turned AF pilot and that dude loved to bang our helmets off the canopy...course that was before political correctness.. and YES he could swear like a sailor as well....... He was really a pretty good guy once you got know him.... ( just for persepective......in my UPT class we started with 66 and graduated 30.. )
