The company does no psychological testing. It is putting the finishing touches on a written test that covers basic aviation knowledge that all applicants will take. All newly hired pilots are required to sign a one-year training contract, which states that if the pilot leaves voluntarily, he must reimburse the company for the cost of training during that year. All CitationShares pilots receive continuing training at FlightSafety every six months, Jenkins said. All pilots are based in White Plains, he added.
Training begins the first week of employment with five days of company training.
There is also one day of survival training, including wet ditch training and cabin evacuation. We think the first time you climb into a raft shouldn't be for real. All training is done at FlightSafety facilities. Where the training takes place depends on which aircraft the pilot will be flying. This way they have a lot of time to spend with their families.
