Chautauqua training
 

Got a oct. 23 class date at CHQ, looking for advice from people in training or on property about what to expect for training. I've gotten mixed answers from recruiting so far as to where systems training happens: i've heard SDF and STL. Also wanting to know what bases are going junior these days and how much movement is actually happening there compared to the rest of the RAH certs/types.

Indoc @ IND

1 night of training on aircraft @ SDF

Systems/Sim @ STL

Thanks, recruiting mentioned something about hands on in SDF but then the offer email said STL.

Doors training methinks!

Why fly a 145 when you could hold out for a 170??? If you can't hire on at Mesa then you should be able to secure full time employment at SkyWest. If those don't work out, then.....Republic, Compass, etc...

It was either chq 145 or the Q400, which has been going through bad cancellation issues. I'm from the midwest and looking for minimal location so RAH won out over mesa and skywest.

Yes, doors training at SDF

Welcome to the circus..I hope you enjoy all your paycheck going to your health insurance.

I don't know what I look forward to more: the doom and gloom or the people talking about it.

My wife is a healthcare benefits coordinator and the office expert on Obama Care...I'm not defending RAH management..they certainly have some, let's say flaws in their management philosophy..but I assure you, RAH will not be alone in this.

As soon as your company's plan contract comes to term you'll see increases as well. I'd advise you to complain to your Congressman...but you know the joke in that suggestion.

Healthcare has been a great way for management to stick it to their employees at RAH for 8 or 9 years now... Obamacare didnt change a thing.

I'm not debating that..just making the point that because of King Big Ears everyone's healthcare is gonna go up...that doesn't mean I think RAH mgt. won't add insult to injury.

So bitterness aside, any chance of some helpful information on where new hires are going?

To hell....not as in go to hell....but as in that is where you are headed. Get another interview elsewhere, quick. Don't come to this **** hole. All the doom and gloom is there for a reason.

Healthcare at republic started going up a long time before the black guy got elected to the White House twice

Those cancellation issues you speak of have been sorta' taken care of per my crew scheduler at RAH. :rolleyes:

Soooo..... Republic to go on strike? Give the COO a good boot out the front door? Replace all of upper mgmt since most of the pilots all said uppers couldn't handle an airline?

Be ready to build airplane......

You are a molecule of air going through engine. What happens? They don't like when you chose to go through the bypass.

How does your pack operate and again explain a molecule of air through the pack system.

Still a zillion memory items and limitations.

Good luck!

I've heard CHQ systems training goes pretty indepth, thanks for the info.

Just curious, but is this actually intended as a trick question? (given that there is no such thing as a molecule of air)

If so, that is pretty rough!

Best advice. Go somewhere else.

consider then any molecule which is a part of the heterogeneous mixture of gases in the atmosphere that the entire scientific community calls air

consider then any molecule which is a part of the heterogeneous mixture of gas that fills Earth's atmosphere which the entire scientific community calls "air"

I know what you are saying...

But they just want you to be able to explain the suck-squeeze-bang-blow in detail.

And they want to know if you know what is involved with a heat exchanger and all that crap..

Just stupid little thing to cooperate and graduate.

CHQ classes?
 

This just in: oct. 23 chq class suspended. Got offered 24th on shuttle instead. didn't say way the hold on chq, but that was quite the heart attack considering my last day at the old job is today and there was quite a pause on the phone between the bad news and better news.:cool:

Did they hint at a CHQ class in the near future or did they simply say, we only have a shuttle class on the 24th?

Didn't hit at anything in the future, first thing she said was the class next day and i jumped on it. Not sure about republic 170 or Q400 either.
