That's plenty. 118 ME, if spent doing Vee One cuts in a Seneca, means he has strong quadriceps.

Plus, anyone with 291 hours in an airplane has tons of experience to draw upon, which may come in handy some day.

Also, Clearasil is covered by insurance with a Doctor's note.

This is not new news. It's been like this for months.

Its ok he's from ATP that place only teaches what you need to know for the check ride, and that is at best all the instructors know. After college I went there to get my MEI, I spent more time teaching the instructor, and he spent more time looking at me confused, and I'm a dumb ass.

 

[samballs]

Great the ones that spent the most came to comair, that means they needed more training. They could have went to Comair academy and spent only 40,000 more, then they could brag that they are from the academy. To the new hires If a capt tells you he went to the Academy call in sick.

 

[DoinTime]

291 hours total time? He would be a high timer in a PCL new hire class.

 

[mcjohn]

They wouldn't hire me with 1200TT and 31 turbine ME. When they called me they said I could interview if I got 19 more ME hours.

My question:
Does a 250-300 hour pilot with 100 ME have a better aptitude for the new job than a 1200 hour pilot with only 25-50 ME?

 

[OPECJet]

Of course. Experience counts for nothing in this business.

 

[Guitar Guy]

My question:
Does a 250-300 hour pilot with 100 ME have a better aptitude for the new job than a 1200 hour pilot with only 25-50 ME?

Depends on the individuals involved. Hours in a logbook aren't necessarily an indicator of aptitude, attitude or performance.

 

[outtahere]

I got one better than that. Had a guy doing jumpseat IOE the other day with 240 total and he says 100 multi. Well I am sure he embellished and probably only has 85 or so multi. And to think, I got raked over the coals at ASA for only having 4500 total and 3000 multi. Geesh!

V1 cuts? In a seneca? Wow...you really dont know do ya

 

[Goose Egg]

I guess that's sort of comforting, seeing as I'm starting to apply around with 1180/104. Can't seem to get Xjet to notice though... it just says "screening..." and has done so for the last 3 months.

Actually the class that started on Monday had nobody with less than 1000TT...average was 3000TT with CRJ experience from another airline...granted there were only 7 people in that class

 

[shamrock]

FWIW, we were told in recurrent that ASA had a newhire with something like 18 hours multi.

The guy on his fam flight yesterday was from JetU and had 260 hours. I haven't flown with a reserve FO in over six months that had more than 800TT.

Maybe you are talking about an upgrade class?

Was it the guy in your avatar?

I had a new hire (at ASA) on the jumpseat with 18 hrs of multi. I told an IP this during my PC, and the IP said he trained one with 15.

 

[Jack-O-Lantern]

To all you Sr. F.o.s............Please don't get sick!!!

 

[~~~^~~~]

General - You reading this? These airplanes say Delta down the side of them.

 

[jstyle13]

If there was ever a time you'd think that managment would just do whatever it took to get the contract settled, it would be now...how long can this go on like this?

I guess it will change when a newly upgraded captain and new hire FO with 221 hours auger a plane in into a daycare center somwhere....

 

[maxcackel]

I hope it doesn't take a bent airplane to fix this, this is a dangerous road we are going down.

 

[SBD-2U3]

We're all gonna to die!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Here's a good one

When ATC tells you to expedite your descent, punching SPEED MODE, swiping the power, and yanking on the spoilers is not the preferred method. It may work in the sim, but anybody without a seatbelt on will be stuck to the ceiling.

Weeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[ASA_Aviator]

One more, when ATC tells you to expedite your descent, punching SPEED MODE, swiping the power, and yanking on the spoilers is not the preferred method. It may work in the sim, but anybody without a seatbelt on will be stuck to the ceiling.

Weeeeeeeeeeee.

I like putting flaps 20, full spoilers and speed mode. I always wanted to be a submariner...dive! dive!

The people getting hired with less than 400 TT are the direct track, CAPT, or some other direct training course. I think I would rather fly with them than a 400 - 500 hour dude off the street who hasn't had any advanced jet or ASA specific training. Sure, they may be low time from those programs, but they get a lot of intensive jet training, and at least know how to fly the sim so they can pay better attention during the ASA sim training.

Express jet is full of cocky mother*********. Atleast they got rid of that one b**ch named Dawn that use to do the interviews there.

 

[ASA_Aviator]

Ps>

PS> I in no way endorse or support said direct track programs... It does seem to be a reality in today's aviation world, however. As long as there are so few people getting into the industry, the regionals are going to hurt for pilots. ASA is NOT alone. Even with a contract (someday in the next decade), we will hurt for pilots.

 

[hawk16e]

What's all the fuss about? I used to train 250 hour pilots all the time. Granted it was day, vfr, local flying jumpers, but they all assured me any air plane flies like any other airplane. Most were pissed off at me for not letting them fly the BE-18. I just don't get it.


When you guys get with an fng, draw the approach on a post it note and (if Needed) let the other guy wonder what's going on. You may have to revert back to single pilot mode to get the a/c back on the ground. I don't like to do that, but as Capitan, you simply must get the thing on the ground safely.

Take care

Some of our FA's legs have more time in the air than that. (((((Ba-Dump-Bump)))))

 

[av8er2]

Many pilots now think it is only a matter of time before something bad happens. Airline operations don't go well with 1.5 or less pilots on the flight deck.
