CHQ Class Date!

[LearLove]

As a new hire at CHQ, how do they pay in training and do they put you up? Single or double room.

 

[Airpiraterob]

$125 a week, they put you up with a roommate in a hotel. (seperate beds) all you have to pay for is food and beer....and rum in our case...or a case of beer...or a case of rum...anyway its fun and hard work at the same time. just remember to somehow save money now to pay for the things back home like your monthly car payment...or your familys expenses, etc.

You looking to abandon ship at Allegheny? I know you love CHQ deep down inside don't you? Tired of the sinking ship, I don't blame you.

Or are you setting yourself up to complain about another airline?

Spoke to HR recently and was told that training dept would be in touch with us soon. One of the 17 was also told that they (CHQ) might want us back sooner and that no sim time would be afforded to us. It sounds like CHQ mgmt. doesnt mind placing a heavy burden of instructing, babysitting and mentoring on the shoulders of IOE Captains when all they should be worrying about is showing us the ropes. Hopefully we wont be all thumbs when we have to start pushin' buttons . . . . gear up, heading, low bank . . . . blah blah blah.

Is anybody out there (current line CA's or FO's or IBT reps) aware of any binder that could be placed on CHQ mgmt. that would force them to provide us (and ulimately their clients) w/ a better margin of safety by providing the recently un-furloughed new-hires some sim time. Or are we just gonna be a larger burden for the CHQ and ATC system during the fast approaching T-Giving and Christmas holidays? Some sim time would be a real confidence booster for those of us who feel like early august was more than almost 90 days ago?

Hmmm . . . . almost 90 days - what a coincidence.

It's called demanding that you get the refresher training you believe you deserve. If they give you any crap I have a few phone numbers you can call that will most likely help. The least they can do for using you as a pawn is bring up to the level you feel comfortable without any hassles. Two of the times I have been furloughed was for under three months and both times I was given two days of systems/fom groundschool followed by two sim sessions and they would have given me more if I wanted. It is completely unprofessional to expect you to go directly into IOE after being furloughed.

nice dog Ivan, (avatar)

in their view, all we need are 3 takeoffs and landings and were current again. Recurrent isn't necessary as it's done once a year for an FO anyway so we should still be good on the systems and knowlege of the airplane....however letting us keep the limitations to look over while sitting on our ass would have been nice....

theres a new company blah-whatever book with completely new cockpit procedures scripting and ways of doing things, so everything we learned in the order we learned it has totally changed. so dont even try to go back and remember the script we took 2 weeks to perfect in the sim.

yeah just a couple of sim-flights would be nice before we controlled-crash it onto the ground turning all our first paying passengers into midgets...

 

[Flyinjack]

But its supposed to by more fun this way.... right? Dosen't everyone want a little excitement in their life? lol.....
