Which regional, right now, has the fastest training program? In other words, which regional will get you to the line elquicko?

I think I got to do around 350 knots in the sim during unusual attitude recovery. :)

Seriously, not sure about others but I have heard at XJT there is a big wait for IOE to a backlog.
 
The one that puts you in class first will be the quickest.
 
Depends....are you paying for training or being paid? Makes a difference!

А пошла ты на хуй!

Who cares how long training takes. As long as you are getting paid, waiting for IOE is just paid vacation. I know I was in no hurry to get on line to sit reserve.

Thats' the point. If I'm on the payroll who cares. When you're paying somebody else (PFT etc), they tend to drag it out and milk you for every penny.
 
At PDT I went from 1st day of class to my final check-ride in less than 1 month, no wait for IOE, then was on reserve after IOE for only 3 weeks before getting a hard line w/ 15 days off....but I'm not sure it will still be like that these days.

I do know that Piedmont is the only regional airline that is fully certified to use an AQP training program, which is more intense and faster paced (as opposed to standard "cookie-cutter" 121 training)...there's an advisory circular out there on AQP training if you want more info on it.

I was at PDT for a year or, two. Trust me the training department there has nothing at all to brag about.

That was not a personal attack, but I think AQP is also lame, "study at home, when you are not getting paid"

yeah, but if you go to PDT then you have to fly with Harry!

PDT's AQP may be faster and more intense, but that is not specific to AQP. I went through one 7 years ago at my former regional. It was a much more relaxed, low stress, and longer training event than the conventional one at my new gig.
 
Sometimes at CJC we send guys right from Indoc/Systems to sim, then commercial right from the sim to IOE base for the 24 hours off then start right into IOE.

On the other end of the spectrum when I got hired at Gemini, I almost de-qualed out of the 120 day consolidation of knowledge requirement waiting for IOE. But didn't care since I was making guarantee right out of sim.
 
I've been through training at TSA and at Shuttle, it was pretty much the same amount of time for both. I'm pretty sure the FAA requires a certain amount of time to be spent on each training area (indoc, systems, sim, etc.) so unless it's AQP I doubt you'll see a huge difference. Now, the wait for IOE is a different story. At Shuttle I started IOE right away, guys hired on the CHQ CRJ have waited around 2 months.

I would. . . . because I'm wanting to know how soon I can be back to my bill paying gig with the Air Force Reserves. . .

I'm not saying the training dept has anything to brag about or that AQP isn't lame, but you've got to admit, in reference to this guy's question, it is fast training
