YAH CLOWN, YOU JUST STATED YOURSELF THAT YOU COULDN'T DO A FREAKING VISUAL APPROACH. HOW MUCH MORE SELF INCRIMINATING COULD YOU BE. I MEAN A VISUAL FOR CHRIST SAKE. A VISUAL!!!!!! THAT COMES FROM EXPERIENCE. A FULL BOAT OF PAX ISN'T TIME TO PRACTICE YOUR VISUALS. THAT SHOULD BE DONE IN A TUB OF CRAP FULL OF CHECKS OR BOXES. THIS IS A DEAD ISSUE----------EXPERIENCE MATTERS----FACT.captain caveman said:Dirk, You're right. The thing is the quality of training of some of these new hires is not the same as the military or the foreign carriers. No heavy screenings, aptitude tests, grade requirements, aviation degree, etc... If you look at my profile it's not difficult to figure out that I started in 121 world with low time too. But from day 1, it was oriented towards 121 and as a result, I did better in training than my counter parts with far more experience. I was lucky enough in IOE to have cat 1 minimums which made it easy because that's all I saw in training. It was the visuals after IOE that took some getting used too.
Point is, Mesa is getting low timers that may not have the other training and compitancy that make low timers safe and compitent in day to day ops as SICs. This is good, as they will experience difficulty in training and may have to increase incentives to attract more qualified applicants.
