Hopefully the spring & summer stuff coming up in March/April will make it easier. I think seasonal stuff starts up next month and new flying in general.

I was at the DFW job fair myself and haven't heard anything yet, so hopefully soon, can't wait to get out of regional hell

I went to the FLL one back in November. They finally sent me the online assessment 3 weeks ago. I kept in touch with 3 other guys and none of the heard anything the day I got my email, I applied last May, so I've been waiting while. Unless you already had the long app, and the online assessment done before you went to the job fair. I wouldn't be surprise if you don't hear anything for a couple of months.

They're not sitting on open time, FLICA notifies them when open time comes available, you have to subscribe for the alerts.

Haha, no man. People are sitting on open time. Most everyone has the FLICA alerts. People do sit with FLICA open, waiting for stuff to drop.

It will just get worse as we continue to hire, add more FOs to bases, and continue to run overage on staffing. Many dogs, too few bones to go around.

Exactly. I had a Captain tell me one of his FO's was bragging about a 2500 dollar computer he built just so he could pick up open time faster.

Lol. Hmm. I guess I'm not one of those then. Although I did see people in recurrent with flica up on their laptops all the time. So are they just hitting refresh all the time? I just have better things to do with my time.

I built two $2500 computers. But it was so I could play games with my son, not for picking up open time. I don't see how a 2500 computer would help you pick up open time faster. It does you no good if you have a crappy Internet connection.

He built the computer to play video games and watch 4K porn.

You don't need a fancy computer to run Flica fast. You need a fast internet connection to run Flica fast.
