I did see where they have a class starting for 145 pilots but unfortunately a move to WV isn't in the cards.... thanks all!

Ideas are being floated around all the time. I hate to say tuned because people as a commodity are moving fast. But that's all anyone can do right now with Via. Stay tuned.

I do think that finding 145 guys that want to live in WV will be extremely difficult, and I'm quite certain that management now realizes that might not be the way to go.

I keep pushing for home basing new FO's because they are getting no applications for WV base... I know, shocking right? But our HR lady just resigned so she could move to St Pete, so I'm not sure what's going to happen on the hiring front. If their fleet projection goes to plan, they will need to hire a lot in the next year

Company is paying all pilots full salary to sit at home until new contracts start, so the owner has work for us to do in the near future or they would have furloughed us all.
121 certificate is in hand and in use. 2 aircraft have already finished conformity with the rest scheduled to be completed by October.

KLWB is actually an E145 route to KCLT now.
