January schedules are always reduced compared to December. They will ramp back up around spring break and then drop off again. Then they will increase again for summer and drop off in the fall, untill Thanksgiving and Christmans.

It is the airline cycle of life and if you have been doing this for more than a year, you should know.

I think he knows the typical airline schedule cycle..
To me it sounds more like an eye roll because that slight decrease in block was referred to as a relief.

Hahaha.

I need the "from the bottom email."

Anybody got the details on the new crj ground school?

Most of the in classroom stuff has been regulated to indoc, CRM, and then the heavy koolaid drinking propaganda.

All the aircraft systems stuff you do on your own, something like 42 cbt's.

For ground school it's 2 strikes and your fired. The final exam covers all the cbt's and if you fail that it goes on your PRIA.

Overall the ground school is shorter because pilots are flocking here in droves and they have tons more experience these days.

Less instuctor student time saves the company lots of money.

What's not to love?

Thanks yo!!

^^^ well thats wrong!! Cbt’s give you the basic system knowledge.. then in class they focus how that relates to a real flight. Staring with saftey/originating check. And ground school flows like a real flight. Helps transition to sim and line easyer. The “old way” was cram useless limitations and test your wrote memory... the new way is way better and easier..

Sounds a lot like ERJ training. The whole ground school is sequenced like an actual flight. It was way easier to grasp the systems and concepts than the cluster of systems that were taught in CRJ initial a few years ago.

If you are going to tell me that it's better to learn aircraft systems sitting behind a computer in your underwear drinking a beer, then I'm going to have to disagree with you. I will agree with you about some of the pointless limitations being tested. Our cbt's simply suck, and many times they are incorrect. If that is going to be the knowledge base for some of these students, many of whom have never burned one drop of JetA, we are going to become very UN-safe.

Remember, many coming through the door today could be in the left seat in a few months, and upgrade is now only 4 full days in class.

This change was only to speed up the process and spend less on the student.

Maybe your generation... not mine. I would spend more time and no beer.. take your job seriously... not the feed it to me mentality... if you want this Job you obviously worked hard to gwt this far. Work a little harder...
