Grounded aviation jobs to be cleared for takeoff

[Dubya]

The A320 must be a really easy airplane. All those FMS 101 classes they do at emory dribble sitting hours at a time on a simulated flight really paid off for the guy.

Spirit was hiring people directly from Riddle during the "shortage."

I am not defending this at all, however here are the facts as I remember...

Spirit hired 8 ERAU people because the DO, at the time, was a ERAU graduate and he thought it would be nice to give something back to ERAU.

The 8 were given 100 hours of IOE, which they planned for, I think one went over the 100 hours.

They had to fly with a check airman once a month or every other month or something like that to track their proficiency. They were scheduled to have a PC at 6 months and one at 12 months again to check their proficiency.

On behalf of Captain Captain and First Officer Smith we would like to thank you for flying with us...too bad he doesn't fly.

Don't laugh but there used to be a doctor in my neighborhood whose name was Dilip S. Doctor, M.D. - Dr. Doctor!

Man,that's pretty bad when half your multi time was IOE.

If you check the FAA pilot data base, there are no records for Liam Broderick...

Liam is short for William. Someone posted a profile from the FAA database in the thread earlier.

The best pilots come from ERU. An ERU grad told me so.

No way, UND is far superior. UND produces the best pilots.

Spirit and the FAA don't require an ATP ?? thought it was age 23 min for the ATP... I for one would walk right back off the jetway if I was boarding the acft and saw this Kid on the flight deck in uniform.. otherwise I would probably think it was just a snot nose kid getting a tour... geezzz. aren't there enough experienced folks on the street to hire before we sink this low.. really...

So what I have been flying jets since i was 21.

Yeah, one of the low-time ERAU alum Spirit furloughees interviewed at Colgan the same day I did . No such thing as a free lunch!

And I probably have more sick time than you have total time.

Limits

A-320 CIRC. APCH. - VMC ONLY.

What is with that limitation? I have heard of companies with op specs that limit their circling approaches, but I didn't know they limited pilots certificates.
