But you are right, this thread is dumb. Absofrickenlutely!!! |
Eagle's training is definitely tough. Not just my opinion, as it's the only 121 carrier I've worked for, but also have heard it's far beyond other carriers training programs from people that came here from other airlines. However, it is also very fair. The instructors are great and they want you to not just pass, but to also leave the training center a well versed professional airline pilot. If you show that you are trying your very best, they will work with you. They will give you extra sims if you need them. Also, Eagle is to switch to AQP sometime in the near future. AQP is not designed to be "easier" per say, but it relieves some of the stress of being fired under the old "3 strike" mentality. Former Eagle pilots that moved on to other Major airlines, or flowed to AA have said that Eagle's training program made the Major's training programs seem like a piece of cake. Having said that, it's not impossibly hard, and you'll do fine if you do your homework and study.

It's a not-so-secret secret that a few airlines (mostly regionals) have a habit of flunking out guys for the slightest problem or, worse, hiring more guys than they really need and then flunking out a certain percentage regardless of performance. Probably less common now, but careers have been ruined that way. Other airlines have a reputation for working with you and training to proficiency. I think that would be valuable information to know going into an interview regardless of how hot-sh*t a pilot you are because it says a lot about the culture and whether they practice management by intimidation. |

Training to proficiency weakens our profession. I have seen this type of training situation before at airlines. Find a new career while your young and don't embarrass yourself and our profession. |

My intent for this thread was not for users to throw flamebait at each other. However that is something beyond my control. The main reason we have these forums is to learn from each other. Pilots helping pilots. Appreciate the responses guys.

There was a legendary director of training that had this to say about extra sims:
"Why should we give anyone extra sims? If you cook a cheap cut of meat longer it doesn't make it taste any better." Discuss |
