The airline I work for implemented quarterly online CBT this year. Previously it was once a year prior to reporting for training.
I just completed the first quarter training and tallied up the time it took me to complete. I didn't complete it as fast as I could have, however, I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to thoroughly refresh on some of the topics.
Total time for completion was 2.68 hours. We are paid for completion of the training at I believe .87 hours.
It's a shame pilots of the past were duped into only being paid for flight time and not for the entire time they are required to be at work (or duty time). That's a topic for debate elsewhere however.
My airline has a 2:1 duty rig. In training we are essentially paid per that duty rig. 4 hours for an 8 hour day. If I had just clicked through the slides that would allow me, taking the minimum time (you have to wait for the videos), I'm sure that it would have taken atleast 2 hours. Still not getting paid for atleast half of the time it would have taken.
I know this is an issue to take to the union. I'm here because I'm curious if this is standard at other non major airlines, or any airline for that matter?
