What did they end up doing with the class? How disspiriting to the pilots, and the instructors as well.

 

Everyone gets worked up over stuff posted on here. Yes, November had a higher fail rait. Guuess what December was 100% pass.. Funny they say the class fails together or passes together... i heard the November class didn't realy click or get along.. no studying together.??. who knows..??..

 

My buddy was getting pretty excited talking about how bad the 175 program is right now.
I don't remember everything he said but mostly it seemed that the 175 training department is screwing up in about every way possible.

Examples like handing out the wrong forms and releases/clr then making the students redue their 1/2 days work. Something about the computer in the class room always crashing leaving the subject matter disjointed. Also apparently instructors were not always correct even on callouts.

I asked if he let them have it in the class eval, to which he said no because the evals got turned in to the instructor one at a time. Haha

 

Then that is a wasted opportunity for the company to get feedback on their instructors. The one getting the eval, in this case, should never see it first and it should be completely anonymous.

 

I believe a few are still trying to get into an LOE ride. The very next class in line saw some changes and should be hitting a check ride shortly.....

 

It seems to echo what was relayed to me.

Anyone who is an ERJ person should be able to follow this.

Apparently this class was initially (ground, matrix and FTD) shown how to operate 27.1. The only problem is the sims were 25.5. Instructors realized this was a mistake as later classes were taught 25.5 from the get go. I guess the matrix and FTD machines were unreliable, often times spending half a session restarting and setting up again. The syllabus was incomplete and skipped areas, with extra items being added to the MV that crews had never had the opportunity to train on. Many of the matrix and FTD instructors are very green as FO's, much less instructors. Non-standard, immature, constantly bragging about how many credit hours they were racking up is what I had heard. "FTD was a tremendous waste of time and resources" was the direct quote from a senior captain making the transition, one of the few who passed everything.... Hopefully it's a temporary thing because SKW training is better than this.

 

^^^THIS

all the failures in my class were the ones that got the gouge and thought im good i dont need to study. study the material and use the gouge to reaffirm what you already should know.

On another note, can anyone break out the yearly earnings report? i read it but im just a dumb pilot, are we getting a profit sharing check or not?

 

Welcome to the jungle.......nothing is, as it appears......

 

OK thanks won't be going home or partying. I left a good paying job so failure is not an option.
Thanks

 

You can go home and party and still pass with flying colors. The trick is to study when it's time to study.

If you've been to college (a real one, with girls) it is very simple training and you can absolutely party and go home.

If you haven't ever had on your own studying, then it takes some adjustment. But coming from a high paying job would lead me to believe you know how to study, so you'll be fine.

And believe me, this is "build the plane" Brasilia class I'm talking about. Crj is pretty easy in comparison.
