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. |

Unless you can fabricate more hours in the day or cut your showers down, you can’t study more than the guys going through systems currently do. |

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. |

When we do the CBTs, do we "go home" for a specific time or hang in SLC?

Why is SW so short of FOs currently? I know they are going to get 45 new Erj-175s next year. I read something where they just added 27 CRJs? Is that correct?

That’s not how it works. CBTs give you the baseline of knowledge. Ground school is still very systems-heavy.
Not anymore it’s not actually. Strictly operational. On the CRJ side of the house. Just like ERJ is mainly operational. They aren’t diving deep into systems at all. At all. As of November. New class footprint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
It’s not FOs specifically, but CA and FOs on the CRJ. Anyone bidding below 25-30% in base is being awarded lots of monthly flying.
It’s more of a massive growth pain than an attrition pain. SkyW grew by 50 pilots last month. (+100-50) The 175 will probably experience issues next year as it is set to expand by 40-50% in 12 months. On the CRJ side we all dodged a bullet when the 30 United 700s were placed with other carriers. Things would have come to a screeching halt. Instead of complaining about timing out, we would be complaining about being on reserve for 12 months and 4 year upgrades. Meh |
