CRJ Question

[Mojo Risen]

I recently finished ground and CRJ sim training with a regional, and recieved over 25hrs in a D level sim. I pulled out before the checkride because the company was at the low end of the pay scale and has not made progress with the pilots union. My question is should I state my jet training in an interview if asked about any. I have not logged any in my log book to be save. Any help would be great.

So why didn't you stay on?

It doesn' count towards total time, and you'll have to put them down as a former employer(PRIA) so your training record will be sent there, even incomplete, I assume.

This is a pitfall of leaving a job in that manner. Doesn't make you look very desireable(sp).........but I have a friend who did that same thing, then bounced on the 2nd airline before he ever flew a line trip(right out of IOE when they were hassling him for being ill), and still just recently quit airline # 3 after a few months. I think he's satisfied now, but they all hired him.

Good luck.

Yeah...What you just wrote is a bunch of crap. If that is why you left than you precieve yourself to be greater than any joe that is paying his dues. I think, and I know from talking to the sim instructors that you just couldn't handle it. You were flying like crap and you were told that you might want to take that job at McDonalds since the minimum wage just increased!

Go ahead and lie and say you never received any jet training. Just don't be surprised when you are fired from your new job after they find out that you lied about your training history.

don't use the "paying dues" statement. People are sitting at regionals for 10 years or more in a lot of cases. That's not paying dues, it's 25% of your working life.

Sounds to me like a washout, who would quit at that point? Had a buddy that "withdrew from sim training" and he was turned down by CoEx, or whatever they call themselves now, about a month ago. Don't try to hide it, or make sure that they can't find out about it!!

All I meant is that we are busting our hump to have this job!

I can dig that....but "paying dues" implies that it's okay to make so many sacrifices.

As ws stated prior..if he lies about the training, and gets hired by another regional, when he is in ground school they are doing the background check (PRIA) and all of the other checks. "Oh, why did you have a gap in your employment for these two months?" When you sign the application there is a little blurb at the bottom that states" All of the above information is true!"
When I was going through ground, during the second week we lost three dudes due to them lying on their application. One was a former TSA agent!

Be truthful during the interview..."Why did you leave your last employer?" Don't forget to put in the statement about it being the lowest paid for you high quality of service that you may provide with your special skill learned at ALL-ATP's!
