Pilot Training?

Question

CURRENT PILOTS OR AVAITION PROS ONLY ..PLEASE! If you are a commercial pilot, flying an MD-80 for example, and wish to change to another airline company to fly an MD-80, do you need to go through training all over again? If not, what do you need to do? How long? Thank you!

Answer 1

You have to go thru initial training at every new company.Indoc, systems, etc.

That said, there might be a reduction in training hours  for time in type, but that will vary by company.I have had this applied to me, but this was for a Part 135 company.( I assume you are Part 121?).
