Mentoring new FO's and Captains
I have been tasked with coming up with a mentoring program for our line check airman to use during the training of our new co-pilots and Captains during their initial line flying training.
I am on a check airman on a narrow body fleet at a legacy airline (that used to be a pejorative term..) , there fore the co-pilots we train are new to our airline but not new to flying. The Captains we train are very experienced at our airline but with no experience in the left seat.
Much has been written about mentoring (I have read it) but it is difficult to apply those lessons to our industry, so thus my questions:
What is the objective of mentoring pilots?
How should we mentor new pilots to our airline but pilots who are not inexperienced?
How do we make this effort meaningful to those we are to mentor - how do we make it 'stick'?
Short answers and anecdotes are encouraged. Negative experiences as well. Thank you very much for your input.
