Did he resign?

I had the great honor and pleasure of talking to him about a week ago. He's still trucking on through ground school. I'm not sure why there aren't any updates though.
 
Vice-Regional Wing Commander 754

After his classmates read his posts on FI, they broke his fingers. He should be able to respond in a few weeks. If you're in the Sim with him, give it a few minutes when you call for the fire extinguishers.
 
Hahahahaha
 
PSA Update

I made it on through INDOC and systems but due to personal reasons I resigned and left on good terms Friday June 22, 2007. The Dir. of Flight Standards and Training I know was sad to see me go and the door is open in 6 months to return. Now I know how things work! I am not a failure or a quitter at all though I recognized the issue at hand and as a professional pilot did the right thing and bowed out on my own accord. As an Eagle Scout (Valor is the better part of Discreation).

No! I did not buckle under the pressure.


Nathen: Do I know you or have we spoke?

Resign :
v. tr.
  1. To submit (oneself) passively; accept as inevitable: I resigned myself to a long wait in line.
  2. To give up (a position, for example), especially by formal notification.
  3. To relinquish (a privilege, right, or claim). See Synonyms at relinquish.
v. intr.
To give up one's job or office; quit, especially by formal notification: resign from a board of directors.

You quit, plain and simple. No way to fluff it.

That door was slammed shut and the locks have been changed. NEXT!!!

So what was the real reason?

Sweet merciful Christ on a pogo stick- it's

DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOR!

As in, do the right thing quietly and without bragging... take care before you enter the fray (which is what I intended to write, but can't stand the fact that you remind me of Jugdesh the Help Desk Drone in Mumbai).


Try this- quietly go choke on your freakin' green card.

So he quit/resigned...who cares? Its not easy making it through any initial training. Haven't you ever failed at anything? Or are you one of those wonder pilots?
 
All I can say is kudos to our training department for weeding out the weaklings. My family rides on my airline all the time and I don't want some idiot I wouldn't trust with a Cessna tryin to kill them.
BTW they only tell you the come back in 6 months thing because they are obligated to for anti-discrimination and what not.
They can teach almost anyone the systems on this plane, but a piss poor attitude and no willingness to learn coupled with a sense of entitlement and a nice big chip on your shoulder will not only make it pointless to try and teach you...but will also lead you down a path of failure in this career. If PSA spotted this problem then you have to be awfully bad.

Airline training is very difficult. All of us have had difficulties at one time or another. Kudos to this guy for getting out before he had a failure on his record. Hopefully he will go back to his old job and push himself harder, tighten up his tolerances, etc. and get another shot at the 121 gig. I know I was not prepared for what Great Lakes threw at me when I was a newhire on the E120. I don't know how you can be totally prepared for the pace of 121 training your first go at it. Most of us just hang on to the static wicks.

Training is hard. Especially when you're brand new. When I was new there was a lot of difficult information to digest, and the airline is completely aware of this. They are willing to help you get to a point where you can learn hands on...unless you have a sh!t attitude. The training department is fully capable of spotting the know it alls and the guys that aren't going to listen...and therefore aren't teachable...and kick them out for their own good. Luckily for them, most people who aren't cutting it get the opportunity to bail on their own instead of being fired. That's a double edged sword. While I'm sure every is happy to see them get a second chance, do you really want your family flying on a plane with a pilot who's just barely "good enough". At some point some training department somewhere will let a fool like this slip through the cracks, and I can only hope by then that person is humbled enough to listen up and learn how things work.
You imply I should cut the guy some slack. I say the system finally got rid of a risk BEFORE the unknowing passengers got to be put at risk.
 
No slack should be cut for this moron. If he can't hack it, get him the h*** out of there
 
The way this clown writes, the way he/she is canvassing every pilot forum out there, and the way he/she is looking to gather experience without gathering any semblance of tenure...

I'll put it mildly. If I was someone looking for someone to watch, this idiot would be at the top of my red flag list.
 
He just posted his full resume in this Part 135 thread!

The guy can write one hell of a "Personal and Customer Mission Statement"

He also has a killer "Philosophy and Challenge of Customer Service" speech!

I was just pointing out that he quit, when he said he didn't. Resign makes it feel so much better.

Yes, I have failed. Failed my private checkride, but the DE paid dearly. I shot him in the face. "Rick don't fail anything" is what I said before I pulled the trigger.
Actually I failed because my instructor and owner of the flight school said that emergency decents weren't part of the checkride. I showed it to them in the ASA handbook, the continues with "Well they examiners we use don't test for it". When I saw the owner of the flight school, and since my CFI had slipt by the time I took my ride, I told the owner that his fat arse was paying for my retake....which he didn't.

If you quit, thats fine. I know many guys who quit in the middle of ground. But don't try and sugar coat it. But seriously, how bad can initial be, for someone to quit? I have heard of guy quitting during sim and IOE...but the classroom? come on!

Why the h%$#

754 keeps coming back here and there (135 etc') for more?
why he's doing it to himself again anf again WHY???????
 
HA!!! Posted by Pilot754 from that 135 thread:
I posses nine of what I consider the most important qualities of a First Officer and one day Captain: initiative, high motivation, outstanding organizational skills, self-starter, integrity and good communication skills, team work, caring, and ability to conduct a program to its fullest while keeping in mind safety being first.
HA!!!!! You've got to be kidding! Your communication skills? You sound like "Mike" from Bangalore when I called Dell for tech support. ("Thank you for being call to Dell, I can help today perhaps, my name is Mike. Could you be giving me your serial number?) {said in my Apu voice}
 
Errr

You don't even know me! Nor, have you ever met me. How can you be making these so off the chart thoughts! Seems like you along with many others on here are not happy where you all are at and taking it out on me. All I am asking is for help, suggestions and or ideas. SHHEEEH YOU GUYS are a bunch of nothings!
