"Regional Puke"? UAL will achieve their dream to "Divest themselves of the flight ops group" You and your buddies made this mess a reality, now you are gonna have a big bite of the same chit sandwich the regional guys have been eating for the last 20 years. You let the camels nose under the tent with scope, and guess what? A half dozen feed airlines competing for a share of the pie, your worst dream is coming true, we are indeed cheaper than you and that makes you a big fat management target. UALEX flies more than 65% of their domestic departures, and we are unfortunately cheaper than just about everybody on your seniority list, and your management knows this in detail. Do the math dummy, it ain't that hard.

It was theoretical. A reply not expected.
As opposed to not having a grievance process with a neutral third party deciding? I've had several of my grievances upheld. But at least I have an accountable, transparent, fair process in a legally binding contract.
But to be honest, I wasnt even talking about your grievance process. I was merely referring to when they just change things or re-interpret it for everyone, without even a grievance being filed.

I agree, people don't understand that under the currently Mgmt. team SkyWest pilots truly are better off without a union. Now who knows what the future holds but one facts for sure, all the SkyWest haters like Nevets have been warning about a massive Mgmt. B-slap for decades that has NEVER come. Sure it can happen but SkyWest has been under assault for many years now and yet they maintain and prosper…. That is as must as a subcontractor in this industry can.

And... Wasn't this the whole point of AQP? I thought the only PRIA reportable events were those that were "evaluations" of some type (i.e. LO-E-valuation). "Validation" items are train to proficiency. While a positive outcome is still required to continue to the next step, an initial negative outcome just means you need more training. I didn't think any of these were PRIA reportable.

Sooooooooo completely untrue. Ive been thru 3 different airline ground schools,the first one being Great Lakes which is known for being hard. I didnt know hardly anything about turbine systems and I made it thru fine. Ya I studied hard but don't blow things out of proportion. Geez dude. I think someone asked what a pack was in both the jet ground schools I've been thru and those people are now online. You go to ground school to LEARN......weird concept right??
In ground school, if he doesn't like the airline's SOP, or how things are being taught, or doesn't feel that he has to know something, he should definitely make that very clear to the instructors and his classmates.
(sarcasm off)
I'm not saying you have to come to ground school already having memorized all the material (except for the EP&L test, which, yes, you do have to memorize, number for number and word for word.) What I'm saying is: Airline ground school (at least, this one) assumes a pretty solid knowledge base. They're not going to sit there and teach you what the 1,2,3 rule means. They're not going to explain to you the difference between a low-pressure and a high-pressure turbine. It's just assumed that you know it.
That is all.

It's a firehose, drink deeply, and don't let the floor get wet.
