Often company pilots recommend friends for jobs, after having a couple buddies bust out when they weren't signed off for their checkrides, I stopped recommending friends come work for the airline. Many others did as well...Luckily not all were my recommendation, but I've had more friends wash out at Trans States than I've had make it through training. It was a rough and tumble experience, some weren't ready, some got bad instruction, but all were shown the door.
I was told that they were going to add a couple more days of CBT in the areas where guys are failing at. But I'm not sure if they did this yet, since I only interviewed a few weeks ago and haven't started training yet.Originally Posted by flynavyj
You've gotta get a little deeper into this industry...pilots love to b*tch...Also TSA has a history of high training washout rates, and if guess who was across the table from everyone of those guys who had to ask for additional sim sessions...Often company pilots recommend friends for jobs, after having a couple buddies bust out when they weren't signed off for their checkrides, I stopped recommending friends come work for the airline.
