which commuter airlines use Flight-Safety?
 
Which commuters use FSI? (just curious)

I used to fly for Express Jet, we went to FSI-Houston. Is that still the case.

I know there is a FSI at KLGA airport, primarly Turbo-prop sims there, correct???

thanx for any help

RAH primarily uses STL. In the past they have used IAH and MCO, and even heard of people going to Paris and Montreal. They did use CAE in DEN for the CRJ program.

ASA uses FSI in ATL.

Cool, Paris sounds like fun, I'm sure it'd get expensive very very quickly....

I did some training at HOU, I remember getting the 1:00-5:00AM sim because the place was fully booked. I heard something like 3 or 4 airlines train there

9L uses HOU and STL, Sometimes SEA and YYZ

CommutAir uses FSI in Seattle and Atlanta. Horizon uses Seattle as well I believe I saw when I was up there last.

Comair uses FSI in CVG. I think Pinnacle, Chataqua, Mesa, and Mesaba have used the sims in CVG as well.

9E uses FSI in MEM for the -200 stuff. When they get overloaded or break, its off to STL.
The -900 stuff has been done in STL but might be consolidated into MSP with the XJ stuff by now... I dont know.

ExpressJet used places other than their own training center only when they were cranking out 80 new hires a month. Usually it is done in house.

I also had the horrible HOU 2am-9am sim schedule.

The -200 in STL is a complete pile of junk. I can't believe that the fed's buy off on it.

Colgan uses FSI in STL and HOU for the Saab, and FSI in YUL, STL, and SEA for the Q400.

I had that at Eagle, don't know what was worst, the time slot, or FSI HOU!

ASA rents the CRJ sims from FSI in ATL, but all of the instructors are in-house.

Eagle contracts their schoolhouse from AMR in the same building as AA's training center. I'm told Eagle also - when crunched for more sims - uses Flight Safety or contract sims in DFW, HOU, STL and CVG.

On the AA side, it's all in house... but that may change with the need to increase class sizes beyond current facility capabilities.

AE uses the FSI sims in DFW for the ERJ, CRJ & ATR.

This is correct... CVG is only for the CRJ, and STL and HOU (I think) are only EMB. DFW is both CRJ and EMB
