Air Wisconsin, at risk jobs

Wow. I had two years of turboprop Convair time and four years as a FE before my first jet. And even then it wasn't easy. Can't imagine going from a Caravan to a 777.

To be fair, that wasn’t really the plan. The plan was to put the lower time people on the 737, but then we decided to get rid of that fleet. It’ll be a challenge for them, like @ASpilot2be said, but I’ve really enjoyed working with the lower time ones. They have been extremely eager to learn and seem to realize how lucky they are.

Which is odd, because the 737 looks much tougher than the 777.

I think the theory was that they’d get a lot more repetition.

It's crazy times these days. My first jet was the A320. I think there were only two people in my class at Frontier that had never flown a jet.

This guy did really well. The hard part is gonna be getting repetition in the jet. I might go two months without a landing.

I went from a King Air C90B to the A320. It was an interesting jump.

That's true.

Flew with a lot of CFI to right seat on an Airbus at F9 (@ASpilot2be can confirm) when I upgraded...most were cool and wanted to learn and knew that they were lucky as hell to be where they were...a few were....not, very punchable faces and "slam-clicker" vibes.

one of my last flights before I left for AA was a MIA-GUA turn...I asked if he'd been there before (a very common question at the time, as it was a new destination)...he responded..."Until OE, I had never flown outside of Florida".

I was actually impressed with his confidence when he said it...

Ah yes, going to GUA with no company info or guidance.
