Default Re: Stating the obviously unbovious

The company is spending a lot less training you than they're willing to admit. Especially as a new hire because they're not pulling you off the line, needing to replace that position, and then paying you your previous rate while in training.

Having a type rating in an aircraft and undergoing training does not guarantee success.

Speaking of new hire ground schools, the guys that had difficulties during 727 engineer school were some of the guys who were engineers at other airlines. Differing training philosophies, different limitations but were given less simulator time prior to evaluation so they had less time to 'exorcise the demons' from their previous employer.

Some people can "free their mind of Carrier X", others can't.

Depends on the individual.
