Regionals flying jets & where they train

[corky]

Need help from those in the know.

where does your airline do your ERJ, CRJ, Dornier Jet training?? In house or at FSI??

Specifically interested in:

Comair, Skywest, Horizon, Whisky, Chautaugua, TSA, ASA, ACA

Thanks in advance.

Air Wisconsin does CRJ training in Denver through CAE.

Eagle does in house ERJ training and CAE training for the CRJ.

Mayday.

Pitiful...ahem excuse me. Pinnacle uses the Flightsafety facility in MEM.

Comair has a Flightsafety facility in CVG. I think they might go to Montreal. If I went to Montreal I'd bring a dozen eggs and go lucking for that weirdo Celine.

ASA primarily at FSI in ATL. Some differences training on the 70 in Montreal.

For a while, ACA used the Dornier simulators in Amsterdam (that was a sweetheart of a deal........), now we have a sim at Dulles and also use one in Dallas.

 

[Jeepman]

Skywest does all the CRJ training in SLC, right across the street from the Candlewood hotel, which makes it nice (No shuttle to schedule). And all the EMB sim stuff is in Long Beach.

 

[TSA ERJ]

Trans States uses in house instructors and we use the Flight Safety sims in St. Louis.

 

[CRJ Driver]

Why are you specifically interested in where we train,
and give a good reason.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

theres a good response.....

Are you concerned that someone may know WHERE you TRAIN????? Is it a real big secret that nobody is supposed to post on the internet in fear of terrorists taking over?

Every time I have had sim training (post 9/11) multiple ID's - including mandatory passport - and explicit training authorizations from your airline/company were required.

everyone IS NOT out to get you, francis....lighten up.

A little research for the newly named training company in case they decide to enter the RJ training market.

And thanks for the great responses

You lighten up Gulfstream 200, its apparent your flying
corporate, and know nothing about 121 airlines. Providing information on the internet about airline procedures and or training is not public information!

 

[Dieterly]

Hey moron, you mean things like this shouldn't be on the internet... Lighten up dude..

 

[JBcrjca]

CRJ Driver -

I do fly for a 121 airline, as do most of the guys on this board. Don't bash the corporate guy. We all know that we're not supposed to share info about hijacking procedures, etc. with the general public...but nowhere is it prohibited from sharing information about where airlines conduct groundschool classes or sim training. It's not top secret info, so why are your panties in such a bunch? Besides, most of the posts above yours gave the gentleman most of the info he was looking for. As a previous post said, lighten up Francis.

 

[CRJ Driver]

Hey moron, you mean things like this shouldn't be on the internet... Lighten up dude..

Hey Moron, yeah you, its apparent you have no life because you post CRAP on this board every day of the week.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

CRJdriver...

well, its a shame....it seems like those coward terrorists really got to your everyday life, huh?

As far as protecting your "121" secrets, maybe a potential terrorist might go to the FligtSafety website or an flight training magazine to locate those TOP SECRET "121" training facilities.........ya think?????

Keep protecting us, we feel safer!

You TOOL.

 

[exeagle]

ASA also uses flightsafety in DFW for EMB120 Training. Wait, that was a secret.

 

[CatYaaak]

You lighten up Gulfstream 200, its apparent your flying

Yeah Gulfstream 200. Providing info on training facilities could lead to a simulator being hijacked which could endanger all kinds of....well....simulated stuff!!

 

[Gulfstream 200]

Im always ready for the hijacked sim......
always know where that safety ladder is in case I need to climb out at FL450......

but dont tell our training secrets, its NOT public information --- strictly Part 121 airline stuff.........

 

[Hovernut]

Comair: In house instructors at the FSI facility at CVG for the 50 seat. Montreal for the 70, but I think we're getting (or got) a 70 sim at CVG.

 

[sidseal]

Darn it, Hovernut! You were supposed to keep that a secret. Never know who is sneaking around on these boards.

P.S.

The AirForce uses Flight Safety for C-5 stuff. SHHHHHH.....

 

[surplus1]

Comair's training is actually "in-house". The sims were built by Flight Safety (for CMR) and they are housed in a FSI facility in CVG, but they belong (leased) to Comair. If the schedule is too much for our own sims, then sim time is purchased at whatever location is available. Sometimes as far away as Berlin.

As already pointed out, the -700 training takes place in Canada at the manufacturer's facility. When we have enough aircraft to warrant a dedicated sim, it will be in CVG. Keeping the training "at home" ensures control of standards and saves lots of travel/lodging money.

By contract, all sim instructors must be Comair seniority list pilots or retired Comair pilots (exceptions for a "new aircraft type" until our instructors are trained). Ground systems instructors do not have to be on the seniority list, but are Comair employees.

at expressjet we have 2 sims (and a 3rd being built) at our training facility in houston,,all instruction (indoc, ground, sim , etc) is done in house
