that is my point, if they want you out,, this is when they will do it. hopefully you didn't rub someone the wrong way, or say something that will come back and bite you.Originally Posted by JetJock16
SKW policy is “Up or Out” on your initial upgrade, but you get three strikes before being FIRED. If you fail your final systems test on the first attempt that 1 strike. F up your V1 cut, steep turns and 0 flap landing on your first attempt of your checkride, that's your 2nd strike (regardless of how many problems on the ride it counts as one strike). Then on IOE you have a series of problems that accounts for you not completing IOE by 50 hrs, that's your 3rd strike. If this was you initial upgrade (FO to CA) and not a transition up grade (EMB CA to CRJ CA) then "YOU"RE FIRED!" If you’re a transition CA then you get 2 chances with a 6 month lock in between attempts and if you don’t pass the second time I think you’re stuck in your current CA position.

) negotiates a DOH merger with no fences. Once all those supper senior ASA pilots start taking the SJSers 1 1/2 to 2 year upgrade slots and they see their upgrade time fall to 3 - 3 1/2 years; they'll wish they had voted "YES!"
