My Uncle worked with him at Eagle for two decades and has nothing but good things to say about him.
I flew with him about 2 months ago. He was a really nice guy. He is a very smart guy. He was basically in charge of switching Eagle from the old way of training to AQP. He will be an asset for our training department, especially if Spirit will let it get switched over to AQP.

We had a guy hired to that. And have had some other people with great ideas come through the department. They are ultimately minimized and then let go. Here's to hoping this is different.

After going through everything and getting to SIMs, is 4 sim session enough to say "you're signed off" or is there a little struggle till the last sim? Just curious

The Company locks you out of CASS so you're NOT going home unless you live local!! You are not an employee till you pass OE!!!

Technically you are an employee while in training because you can be terminated.

We were employees on day 1 although on training pay. We were in cass after the 1st week and several people took the risk and went home during a 3 day break. Doesn't mean it didn't suck and was the worst training I have been through. Maybe they changed it in the last few months.

You can't travel as an employee on Spirit, no insurance or benefits for 90 days. They don't enter you into CASS, they don't consider you an employee. You're in training and NOT actually an employee.

They may have changed it because they can't fill classes!!!

4 sims and then released to OE? No LOF, or line sim? Your poor Line Check Airman. That's stressful, especially given some of the airports you fly into.

Poor line CKA's? How about poor line Capt's that have to do ojt all the time but don't get the instructor override.
