Makes a lot more sense with that explanation.
Are there any issues with FO/FO training? I’ve heard of some FOs being busted for not performing CA duties properly at other places... With that said, FO/FO initial training isn’t too bad, as once you’re rolling down the runway, PF/PM duties are pretty much the same whether you are a CA or FO. Know your flows and call outs and you’ll be prepared and won’t let your sim partner down. |

For the checkride they put someone qualified in the CA seat. It used to be flight safety instructors, but now I think they’re in-house company sim instructors.

Not fair to an FO that's upgrading to CA?? When I flew with a regional 10 years ago, my sim partner was upgrading to Captain. He had 7 years on the airplane as an FO, so it was a huge benefit to me and he said he learned from me as well. Matter of fact we are still great friends to this day.
It is defintely more to save money and also there are so many FOs being hired, it would be difficult to pair everyone up with an upgrading FO. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

You still get paid guarantee during those breaks, correct? And do you have flight benefits during the time off? Yes. I know studying needs to be done. I’m just asking a question.

Flight benefits are active "at 30 days," but many of us had Delta and United bennies activated almost immediately. AA didn't come until about day 35. My advice is fill out all Workday items on day 1 and you'll have bennies by week's end typically. |
Thanks for the input. I didn’t so much mean MMG. I just meant “some form of income”. But that’s good to know. Thanks!

I just came over from Piedmont, where 8 months after DOH, I’d not seen an airplane yet. I even waited 4 months between interview and start. The AQP may change the timeline above, as well. (The email I got today with my next few weeks schedule mentioned “about 50%” would see a change to the schedule.) |
