I don't disagree with the benefit of a "boot camp" type filter; hell I think the same would be said of society as a whole. But we're not talking about Basic or Boot, UPT or even the rise of the SNAP, we're talking civilian aviation training. I'd like to think by the time one becomes a professional pilot we're all big boys and girls that can take a four-letter word and not be grossly offended...but IMO there are much, much more effective ways to instruct civilians. |
This just in: Flying for a regional airline does not typically involve warzones, combat, surface to air missiles, or dogfighting.
It does involve a lot of crying about how much your job sucks, backpacks, Northface jackets, and eating at McDonalds though. |

Well you'd have to cancel a master caution when the tanks get within 100 lbs of each other. So yeah pretty stupid if you then allow it to continue to 801 the other way.
WE should use that example for every aviation accident/incident ever, and we would still look like fools. Skills and luck go hand-in-hand whereas when luck runs out skills may not be enough. Almost all aviation accidents/incidents are the result of some sort of human error no matter how slight! |
Profanities , hostile environment and down right discirimination cost me years at skywest . GB is the biggest a hole i have ever seen..

[mod note] Please keep the topic of the present thread in mind when posting responses to this topic (washout rates). It be necessary to start separate threads for the other topics.

Great Lakes washout rate has been about 40% over the years.
I believe that it has improved latley. Captain upgrade training has a fairly high washout rate as well. This is mostly due to the challenge of flying the sim. The 1900 sim is not easy, and of course there is no autopilot to rely on. All handflown, and the sim is much less stable than the airplane. It's a scan builder, and if you come to training without a solid scan, you won't make it through. |
