I know a June17 new hire that still isn’t on IOE, progressed through everything without a hitch just delays due to training backlogs.

How is it possible that we don’t have a stable training pipeline up and running already?! This is crazy. It’s been going on for over a year like this. Any other industry and this would be deemed unacceptable and heads would roll.

Agreed. It feels like every few months we hear something along the lines of "once [xyz] is up and running/installed/hired/trained then all this will sort itself out." I was hired 2 years ago and it was the same story then.

For some reason mediocrity is accepted in pdt. We have a new fleet captain coming. He is a great guy. We will have 4 full time Sims shortly add that should help.
Have you seen how many instructors we lose is the next 6 months?

Having been through a fleet transition once beforehand none of the difficulties encountered by PDT have been surprising. Unfortunately a lot of foresight and planning are required prior to the new airframe arriving on property. It seems like AA failed to be proactive before the first jets arrived and the training department has been left trying to pickup the pieces and make something from what they’re given. The time to address potential training delays and backups was several years ago, not now.
Expanding the airline while transitioning makes the transition exponentially more difficult and it looks like the management teams are starting to realize that.
Unfortunately one or two or a even few dozen additions to the training department aren’t going to make an appreciable difference in the near term. I give a lot of credit to the folks who’ve been trying to work the problem since the beginning, they’ve been handicapped from the start.
