People you need to study

[RNObased]

I was asked to post this by a couple of the NJA instuctor pilots. I will make everything as vague as possible to protect the innocent.

There has been several incidents of people not studying after intial aircraft training and this has cost these newhires their jobs. We aren't talking about the how many static wicks are on the jet or how many rivits in the elevator. We are talking memory items and SOP's.

Granted you may have a few weeks off after intial sim training, but you still need to be in the books. The last incident one of the gentalmen told me about was someone had 3 or so weeks off before getting called back for aircraft training in CMH, and hadn't cracked a book in all that time. Bet he had cracked a beer or two though.

Things are tight in CMH and they aren't giving away many training flights there days, if the first one is messed up, there has to be a very good reason.

You can take this info however you want, but I was just asked to pass it on.

Does NJA do IOE's? And if so, with SIC's as well as PIC's?

Yup, IOE for both. Its 25 hours and 10 Landings.

RNO,

Thanks for the gouge. Why don't you post this on the 1108 board where more new hire type folks might actually read it? Just a suggestion.

I'm one of those guys going on two months since I finished my sim course. The training dept told me to expect company a/c training in late Aug, but that has changed about 3 times already in the last month.

I too have fallen into the trap of being a whole lot more lazy than I need to be concerning keeping up on my systems, memory items, and SOP. I'm starting today by setting some time aside every day and reviewing all the aforementioned items. Thanks for the heads up.

My buddys are going to do it, and they figured that not all new hires have board access or know how to get on the board, yet....

Its all falling apart. Before you know it the whole bunch will wash out. Before I get jumped on just kidding.

I know when I ran into that scenerio while doing IOE.

ME. "Did you get an NJA paycheck between Sim and IOE?"

It's nice of you to give a heads up, but come on.....If you go to a/c training without knowing your Emergency Memory Items and Limitations, you are pretty weak. You also don't deserve the job in the first place. Nothing wrong with encouraging people to study, though.

Except that it does happen. When I go to FSI, I do study before I go there to avoid looking like an idiot. Not to judge anyone else, but last class there was a guy who I am pretty sure didnt do too much studying. Maybe he just didnt get a chance to do so or didnt have the time.

When you have to study, does the company give you study pay? What, your union has not arranged this for you? No wonder people dont want to study. Too much work, not enough pay for it.

No study = you are not a professional. Plain and simple.
