Training Dept.?

[Glacier1900]

When do people usually get into the training dept.? Are they only Captains?
I ask for interview purposes, is it wise to show interest in that area?

Just when I thought the training system was getting better they go and give LM the position of 744 sim training manager.....

O.....k. That was helpful.

Thank you!

Glacier 1900, Training FOs were introduced a few years back as a way of expanding the Training Dept and providing cheap training for SOs. It hasn't been too successful - some of those that volunteered were there more for the power trip than any real interest in training. By all means show a long-term interest in training during your interview, but I wouldn't get too hung up on the T/FO thing - they might be suspicious of your motives!

Ok, perfect thats exactly the kind of background I was wondering about!
Thanks again.

I can't believe LM is now in charge of the 744 sim training. I honestly think he is bi-polar. He's in charge of a fleet he has never flown?? How can they put people in charge of such positions that have never flown a Cathay aircraft?? :ugh::yuk:

Only at Cathay.

[badairsucker]

I agree, plus his training method leaves a lot to be desired.:{:{

I didnt know we had a "training" department.. Are u guys talking about the worlds most admired airline (Cathay)- ha - what a laugh! :yuk:

Dont know who LM is, but Im sure hes as incompetent as it comes around. We shall see. :ok:
