Why is it that no one addresses

Why is it that no one addresses the after hire process and the pitfalls of a 3 or 4 week fire drill training program designed around 3000 hour turbine pilots and the high rate of failure in the sim check.
The majority of pilots wash out in the oral or the sim check and that is never addressed by anyone.
Just curious?

Huh? I think I missed something here.

Do you have statistics to back this up?

On which of the three threads that you started with the identical question (Regionals, Training, or FAR's) would you prefer the conversation begin?

I've seen my fair share of fire-hose training and have only known three people fail checkrides, out of approx. 50 I have trained with, and only one who "washed out". Are you talking about training at a particular company, because industry wide I think your claims are way off.

This isnt an argument its an inquiry

3 weeks ground hardly sounds like enough for a 1200 hour pilot when we were told in ground school that the class was designed around 3000 hour turbine pilots.
It is my experience after working a several companys that all slight operations are the same.
Barely enough time to brush your teeth.

Three weeks for ground school (1 week indoc, 2 weeks systems), is the norm for regionals. If you or someone you know had trouble, too bad. There are plenty other applicants who will pass. The airlines are not going to extend ground school for a few who couldn't keep up.

I have been through a few training programs that are too long. I shouldn't have to know how to build it just fly it. I have also seen a few guys get more help than they should and make it through, only to be a danger to everyone. If you don't have the good drive a truck. This stuff isn't rocket science. Please don't take it personal it not directed to anyone specific. I'm just sick of going to ground school, and felt the need to vent.

Actually powerplant chapter sort of is.
