from what I was told there’s still a three year equipment lock but I don’t think there’s a seat lock.

Type training
Hey I don't have any FAA part 121 experience however a decent amount of turbine time overseas. I've read on here that the training is not suited for those without previous 121 experience and how shocked some people are about Breeze taking on CFIs and no 121 experience people, however is training on a particular equipment be lets say...."easier", more suited/forgiving for those with less experience? Cheers

For example, a problem I have seen is the “training supplement” (study guide) that is handed out. It’s extremely bare bones. It has almost nothing about limitations in it. Well any prior 121 pilot would know that you will have to know limitations. Some of the new hires ONLY put enough effort to read the study guide and assume that will be enough. We all know you have to crack open all of the other manuals at some point… but it seems like the zero to hero new hires lack that knowledge
All being said, any pilot who qualifies for an ATP shouldn’t fail out. It’s not that hard. You just have to be proactive and do a lot of extra self study

This is normally the case. However, the 190 training here is mainly geared towards already typed, already 121 experienced pilots. Nothing says a non typed, new pilot can’t be successful, it’s just way more difficult. The instructors here aren’t going to spoon feed you.

Their program is designed for people already familiar with 121 ops and training, and turbine equipment and systems. People that lack that base experience will struggle, as opposed to a training program like Skywest or MESA which is designed to take a 172 pilot and bring them into the airline world

I don’t understand what you don’t understand here.

Limitations are dumb. Single pack ops? It’s mentioned in the qrh and mel, why memorize that. Wheel speed? If I have to be moving that fast on the ground there’s a reason for it. Wipers? Every time it is a speed well above the wind just keeping the rain off the windshield anyways. Thrust, useless info determined under controlled circumstances with a brand new engine. People get wrapped up around limits for no reason. Yes, there are some that are important, most of the ones asked are just useless. There’s a reason there are color codes on an eicas.
