Gallop polls.. Same people that refuse to poll the current election. I never said I liked the Republicans currently in office, and I am certainly not independent nor Democrat. These rhino's currently in office are a special case of traitors.
I'm pretty sure Trump will be the next president.

When did this place no longer become an airline pilot forum?

EjetTaxi

Yea new topic. Any unofficial word on the location and placement of the 15 ejets? Vacancy posted yesterday for 12 more upgrades. I'm not sure if this coincides with these new aircraft or not.

Anyone know the specifics (length of training, location) for E175 Captain upgrades coming from the CRJ?

iFlyRC

Ejet training has been going on in DFW

Xdashdriver

Length: A couple of days of command leadership followed by 3 weeks of systems, 6 days of ground FPT, 2 days of FPT in the sim, 8 sims, check ride, LOFT.

Location: All ground training is done in PHX, door pulls in Orlando. Sim is mostly DFW with some YYZ. STL may come back into the picture as the new aircraft likely come with FSI entitlements, but not sure when that will happen.

Is this a pretty similar schedule for people upgrading from the 175 into the CRJ?... Locations obviously different, but is the footprint similar?

Xdashdriver

Command leadership is the same and systems will be similar. I think the 175 FPT is longer than the CRJ now, but I'm not sure. If so, it's only a couple of days difference. The CRJ also has some differences training that the 175 doesn't have. Same amount of sims, so a pretty similar footprint overall.

I'm just saying your post about PRIA's protections, while not technically wrong, is wrong in practice/application--employment laws (like pilot contract language) are pretty easy for companies to work around:

"During the hiring interview process, Alaska Airlines asked Boring whether he ever had been suspended, terminated, or otherwise disciplined by Mesa Air, and Boring answered that he had not.   When Alaska Airlines subsequently learned that Boring had in fact been disciplined and had failed to disclose this fact during the hiring process, it terminated his employment.

Boring brought this lawsuit, contending, among other things, that under PRIA Alaska Airlines had no right to require him to disclose facts pertaining to disciplinary action that had subsequently been overturned;  and that Alaska wrongfully terminated his employment in violation of public policy upon learning that he had, as Boring puts it, exercised his right to privacy guaranteed by PRIA. The trial court granted Alaska Airlines' motion for summary judgment dismissing Boring's claims, and Boring appeals.

PRIA neither prohibits air carriers from requiring pilot applicants to disclose disciplinary action that subsequently was rescinded, nor prohibits the firing of a pilot who falsely reports that there has been no such disciplinary action.   Accordingly, we affirm"

So, basically, the only time PRIA protects you is if an airline is actually stupid enough to transmit prohibited categories of information within the PRIA report itself.

There is absolutely nothing in PRIA (or case law interpretation of PRIA) preventing Mesa from calling your future employer and saying "he is in default on his training agreement." There is also nothing in PRIA preventing the new employer from subsequently firing you before you finish probation upon learning that fact from Mesa (as long as they aren't stupid enough to say that is the specific reason they are firing you--which they won't be).
