Using TK for yard work?
 

Hypothetically speaking, lets say the company simply just didn't like a New Hire and has some sort of buyers remorse, would they use the training department to WEED them out? Thanks, asking for a friend!

If the company no longer wants to associate with you due to a non-flight/training issue, they will do the dirty work themselves. They won’t send you through the training department as part of the exit plan.

If you are struggling flying the plane then, yes. They can, will, and do send people back to TK to work with them. If they can’t fix you and you’re still on probation, sure. You could find yourself dusting off your resume.

That said, it’s an extremely gentlemanly company. You have to really be a special kind of special to get yourself dismissed. Not saying that it isn’t possible or hasn’t happened. Because it is and has. But those pilots are truly in the top of the one percenters.. and not the financial kind.

you won’t run into a single PI that will tank you because they are asked to do it. You either fall on your face or you don’t.

If you are an idiot that’s makes dumb choices when at work or outside of work they will just cut you loose. This is a multi billion dollar corporation firing you means next to nothing to them there is no emotion involved.

you put the time in you will pass

You’re on probation for a year. They’ll take care of the weeds if they see an issue.

hypothetically, I would ask a different question. To even ask this is absurd. For a "friend." cmon.

The instructors and evaluators at TK are qualified line pilots and will treat pilots in training as such.

First of all, what would make a new hire think that the company doesn’t like them? Attitude, lack of performance ? In any of those cases, the company doesn’t need training to weed them out, they are an at-will employee and can be let go for just about any reason.

The number one job of training is to get pilots to the line. To suggest otherwise might speak to the individual thinking otherwise.. in other words if you think someone is on a witch-hunt, it might they probably have good reason to do so, but they won’t!

To be quite honest, for non flight performance based issues, you need to go out of your way to get let go for HR or "the company doesn't like me issues." Like fabricating your entire flying background, lying about military experience, or just being totally an intolerable or a completely insufferable person.

Be a normal person, show up prepared with a good attitude and know one is gonna know who you are. And that's a good thing. There is no special meetings happening behind closed doors discussing what's going on with new hires unless problematic behavior is brought to their attention.

Jfc you guys really are hiring some scrubs. This is the type of question you’d expect to read on the bottom of the barrel regional threads like Mesa or commuteAir.
