I have a buddy about to start new hire training at OO. Anyone know the pass/fail rate? How much pre-studying should he do, or is it ok to just show up? He’s very inexperienced and I hope he’s not out of his element.

My class from November started with 78 peole in indoc. I am currently waiting for IOE. (4 weeks now from ILOE) According to the seniority list there are 48 people left from my original class. I don't know how many failed vs left for other reasons

Best thing to do is show up, be completely focused and dedicated. Some of the people with the most flight experience ended up being the ones that failed and people like me that had never flown anything bigger than a piston twin at the very minimum R-ATP hours made it through.

Trust the process, do the work, dedicate yourself to the program and it will work....at least it did for me....so far. I hope IOE goes well.

They expect basic knowledge to functionally operate on the certificate that you already posses.
Failure rate is higher than it used to be, but the hiring department used to also discriminate so that follows.

Out of my class of like 30 from Indoc I believe only one person didn’t make it as everyone else is still on the seniority list while we’re currently waiting on IOE. Work hard and study and your friend can be successful

IOE will go well. Just don't allow yourself to get sloppy on flows and callouts while you wait. I would recommend running through all flows at least once a day in there entirety. Also take 20-30 minutes out of your day and run through the limitations on the quizlet app for all variants. It's amazing how quickly your brain will dump those if you don't use them. LCAs aren't there to bust you. They are there to verify that you can do your job safely.

Out of my class of roughly almost 60, only 4ish people didnt make it through. It is tough, hes gonna feel like he cant do it, but he will be fine. It had me contemplating if I was even cut out for the airlines lol

Failure rate is low. Below 4%. People group in people that leave before ioe for other reasons…and with the new expanded footprint, and kinder training department. Rates should go down even below 2%

Training is difficult. I was surprised how many from our class made it through. You CANNOT get behind. I wanted to take a day off so badly but knew that it would likely result in a failure. Study hard every day, trust the process, and it will all work out.

What’s everyone’s favorite electronic logbook these days? I’ve been using ForeFlight up to this point.
