RAH Training Dept.

That would be something.... I got a call from them a couple of weeks ago. A recruiter found my resume online and called even though my resume clearly states that I only have 280hrs of cross country time. She asked me if I could reach 450 by the end of the month. I chuckled and told her I didn't think that would be possible... She gave me an email addy to send a resume to when I reach the magical "500".... Looks like I might have dodged a bullet...
 
Ohhhhhh I love the Internet.
The FAA audited Flight Safety recurrent program for their instructors. They weren't teaching something that was required by the FAA handbook for 121 programs. (I don't know what it was, probably something stupid that doesn't apply but makes every 121 program teach...)

So with that in mind the FAA has said the Flight Safety guys cannot teach the Sim until they get X done. They can still teach ground stuff and our in house check airmen can still do sim's.

So no, RAH training dept isn't shut down.

Regionals are getting desperate to find bodys...

Tomato Tomato.
 
The biggest issue I have with FSI is that the instructors juggle 4-5 different operators AND part 142/91 training programs.
My seat fill for my initial checkride was making the wrong callouts. Drove me nuts.

This is one of the reasons the FAA would like to end contract training for 121 carriers! Had a flight safety instructor tell me about all the different clients he had to remember, I told him I didn't give a !
 
I was waiting for this rumor to pop up. Though apparently the FAA isn't all to happy that FS instructors teach on 3 or more different certs simultaneously.

REALLY? This has been happening for how long now? And we've known that it wasn't perfect for the entire time. And I've watched good people struggle through training because of it. And now the FAA feels like its time out of nowhere? I'm not even amused.

Yes we've lost quite a few for the same reason.

Looks like FSI might need to do some more hiring...

Sucks...but I'm not a fan of any non-seniority list instructor(s).

Just another sign of a cheap operation to use a third party to conduct the training for you.

How many seniority list instructors are there over at RAH? What do they teach?
 
All the folks I interacted with in Houston were awesome. No complaints whatsoever with the training there. Well, except the 0230 sim time.
