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.

I think I just may **** myself the next time I see an RJ Capt leave the cockpit to use the lav in flight.

One of the folks in the class behind me ended up doing 3 four day trips of IOE, I'm sure he/she needed the experience, and given the fact that he/she had the right attitude, I think the company made the right decision. Since then, the individual has been through a PC and tons of great reviews from everyone they've flown with.

I'll like to know what your experience is with this subject, what company do you work again?

I heard the regionals had removed the "lady J adapters" from their fleets to save money. Makes for a lot of "walks of shame"

80 hours holy crap batman...... we got 20 hours on the ATR42 way back when ........ The get them through at any cost is sorta scary.....

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.. )
