Read through this whole thread. Few questions.

Has the training improved since (2018) this thread started?

Still many failures?

Are there any former military Pilots that have gone through recently that can compare/ contrast?

Thanks,

D~

Something like a 97% pass rate or something.

That’s a reasonable number. Not everyone is cut out for this.

Thanks,

Just had a new hire FO tell me he had to pay ($40 i think that was the $$ ) for the Airbus training software that is now installing on our iPads. Is this true?

You’ll be provided with everything you need to pass training. If you want to go buy training apps then that’s on you.

Not true. They supply you with everything including the A320 like app which tells you what Pb does what. It does not have flows or flash cards but with Quizlet and the Flowguide/AOM2, you don’t need it.
Save your money because you get paid only $1800 per month until IOE is complete and you’re released to the line.

Do they not let you know your background check is done and you’re in CASS until a certain point in training to prevent you from going home and getting off track? No one in our class has been cleared yet and the company has had our info for weeks if not months.

Welcome to Spirit.

And you guys thought that they had a team trying to get you guys processed by the holidays?

Seriously, this is how it is. They have no concern or obligation to process you for the holidays, so they won’t. That’s the plain truth. It sucks but that’s how Miramar runs the show.

CASS approval is partly based on your old employers responding to their requests. Not sure what they confirm but my guess is they confirm you are no longer an employee and that your old ID badge was surrendered when you quit, as well as PRIA info.
I got mine in week one over a year ago. Other people in my class got their cass near the end of training. There are a few airlines and other commercial operators that are notorious for being slow to respond when their employees quit. Many dont respond at all, and in that case there is a timeline that will have to be expired before they can proceed. Something like 90+ days.

Doubt it. That wasnt the case for my class. Granted it wasnt over a holiday, but half my class got CASS approved week one. Others had to wait a while because they were waiting on peoples past employers to respond to whatever PRIA requests and security stuff they gotta do.

Maybe they used to be like that but they were very upfront about our CASS approval when I went through. I cant recall who does it the background check, but the new hire instructors, mentors and training folks can look up and see if people are approved or not.
