Maybe the FAA needs to look at it's ATP program. Scary stuff.

The ATP is most commonly provided by the regional airline, and signed off by one of that airline's designated examiners.. But maybe you are right

I'll ask again. Exactly what part of the flow prevents a guy from sitting right seat for 10 years, busting upgrade training and who knows how many other training events from flowing to American? Let's also say he has a poor discipline and attendance record. He still gets to flow, right? If the worst of the worst can get in no-questions-asked, what does that say about the future of American's culture and pilot group?

You act like they automatically get thru training. Believe me they don't.
There's nothing to see here. Keep moving along:-)

I asked two simple questions but you don't seem to want to answer them. Why is that?

This is an interesting discussion and I am surprised it took this long to come up this pointedly...

Yes and in the meantime another 20 FO's just left AWAC.
The flow at American should be the least of someone's problems.

The good news is if they can't make it through training at AA, they don't get to stay (but have an option of returning to their regional).

Don't worry, if this individual is truely as incompetent/dangerous as has implied and AWACS training/ standards department failed to address the issues and eliminate him from the pipeline, he'll have two more probationary periods (one at PDT and one at AA) where others will have the opportunity to clean up AWACS mess if he's turely unsalvagable as a pilot.

Sorry guys, I just enjoy watching billy squirm once I get him onto a corner and his troll responses no longer cut it but I will stop quoting his posts.

AWAC training is tough but I know they work hard with their people once they're on property. But passing training is different than working the line. Hopefully by the time this kid flows he will have learned to land the airplane without the captain's help.

In other news, there is no news. Carry on.

Squirm? You are mistaking squirming with ducking webs of stupid being shot at me by you.

Like I said you have more on your plate then worrying about the flow at American.
For the record you guys really kept a pilot on the line that couldn't land a plane without the Captains help? I wouldn't be pointing the finger at that guy at all.
