Training washout rate

[Black Water Dog]

I saw an advertisement for atp's crj training....is it worth it to go through something like this?

I guess if you got the $$$ and the time. Will be of less help if you get hired on and get assigned an ERJ. Or a Saab 340 (etc). And they probably don't teach basic instrument skills, if that was a concern.

The hardest part for me was the automation (flight director, autopilot), different avionics, and the two pilot cockpit. Nothing insurmountable, but previous exposure would have helped. The EFIS tubes are a bit different, but you get used to that fast (and you will NEVER want to go back to round guages again).

I interviewed at Express Jet a few months ago. Our interviewers told us that They have the highest wash out rate in the Regional airline industry. Because they are hiring 80 to 100 people per month. Out of that, they loose about 35% and sometimes close to half.

What happends when you get washed out?

Can they get jobs with other airlines or is it the end of their career?

Sure, you can get another job. It happens all the time. A lot depends on why you washed out. A bad attitude is hard to correct but, if it's just due to inexperience then it is very understandable since most training programs are really not designed to teach but rather to check you out.

Remember that every training department has also to answer to the FAA for any training failures or retests. So study and don't think about failing.

Which regional airline seems to have the most washout rate? and why?

This question doesen't apply to Riddle grads. Our pilots are top-knotch, and not one has ever failed ANY checkride.

Riddle Idiot

With that attitude you can plan on staying at Riddle the rest of your life. You will make it absolutely nowhere, and you will fly C172s the REST OF YOUR LIFE. And everyone fails a checkride at somepoint in there life. Have fun with that douchebag.

By the way, you're an absolute moron for putting MD-90 simulator time on your flight time. No one gives a sh**. That will be real worth it when your playing Microsoft FlightSimulator.

I have the same problem as her after a session with the old lady.

I flully agree with the response to your bizarre reply! You will not get anywhere with your "Gods-gift-to-aviation" attitude. You will be first in-line to washout if you don't grow a brain and listen to what actual regional pilots tell you.

I think a washout is the only mishap that will show the real side of training to this guy...........

Just my 2 cents.

This person can't be real...OTOH, I have known a few Riddle trained idiots that were like this. I can't decide.

Fortunately they aren't all like this. I've got a couple of good friends who graduated from there and they are great guys to be around! They definately don't have a the attitude this guy has. My buddies all fly professionally and they are good at what they do.

RiddleMan80....................goodluck in your career.........the first thing i ask a cocky-attitude pilot is where they went to school, most often the answer is riddle and i think to myself..ohhhhhh thats why. is that cost of college and training getting to you, it would to me too if i spent 100 plus on my schooling and training. what a waste of money for a 20 grand a year job, oh thats if you get hired.............i bet you will never
