That is an excellent question and I don’t have the answer.Astro,
What is the washout rate at Aviate after the students are accepted into program ?
I don’t believe the company is sharing data on the Aviate washout rate, nor is information available on how many pilots, of any category, new, old, Captain, FO, narrow body, wide body, require retraining.
But I know from firsthand experience that the number is greater than zero.
I have (personally) had students that get extra training in their initial qualification course. I have had students require extra training when they come back for their annual training and checks.
have had students that were given extra training, still didn’t meet standards, and were offered a chance to retire.
I have a friend, who once had a new hire student that made a deliberate, egregious procedural mistake, during his first check ride. He was gently corrected by the Captain.
He made the mistake again, and when questioned about it by my friend the evaluator, got confrontational, saying, essentially, “whatever, Boomer.”
The ride was ended on the spot. A meeting with ALPA, management, my friend, and that student took place the next morning.
That student pilot was fired, and sent home that afternoon. Quite a price to pay for mouthing off, for blaming the instructor/evaluator for being the source of the problem, instead of accepting his own role (willful violation of an FAR).
So, good riddance.
His history, and his attitude, were much like the FO on Atlas 3591. We all know how that worked out.
