Bad IOE experience

[turbinesurgeon]

You hit the jackpot, the airline with the short fuse was Skywest. I flew with a different checkairman after that but by then I was up to 50 hour which is the max. After that they won't give you more no matter if you are doing well or not. Last guy I flew with was only for one trip that consisted of 5 legs, he said that I needed to fly a couple more trips and I would be fine. Next thing I know training dept calls and says that can't give me more 50 is the policy and they stress that when you get in the airplane. I guess 50 sounds a lot if you are doing short legs in a turboprop but not in a jet. Most my legs were long and I only got few visual approaches and 15 landings or so.

The airline I am at now is 70 hrs min for IOE. If they could have finished you up in a trip or two then I think they were foolish to let you go. Skywest must have a lot of extra money to burn.
