Current training footprint

Are new hires seeing any delays in the training footprint right now? Or is it sticking to the timeline that hiring is giving out?

I have not heard of any delays. But I’m not really “in the know”

Great to hear. Appreciate the response. Is it just one trip of OE?

Bare min is based on meeting an hour requirement in addition to meeting proficiency standards. From talking to some guys that have recently started OE, they’re doing day trips at the moment.

Yup. Instructor pilots love to have training “block out” day turns to be used for IOE vs 4 day trips. It’s ridiculous. New FOs on property should be doing multi leg up and downs to get some experience going, not sitting in cruise for 3 hours to LGA going through their folder and getting 1 landing a day.

Training done 100% in Florida these days or any chance of sims being done elsewhere?

Hard to answer, in the past we have used DFW for NH as well.
