Yeah, I don't understand why either, because looking at the Feb projections, the 73N is the most understaffed NarrowBody in the fleet. I know they were at full-capacity in the sims this month.

New hires have been going where sim space is available as much or more than where the staffing need is. It's obvious they are looking to avoid having new hires wait extended periods of time between Indoc and aircraft training.

Quick question......what does the company end up doing if no other person matches up with your initial sim schedule? Everyone else is paired up with somebody else in some capacity, except for me.

They have seat fillers for that. Most are great at it, and it gurantees you will stay in your seat for the footprint, which is highly preferrable to an FO/FO or CA/CA pairing.

A post on L&G says Georgia takes taxes out of your pay during Indoc. Is this true? Any newbie commuters dealing with this?

Since your working in GA you have to pay the income taxes. With low earnings you will file a GA return and probably get most of it back. When you are flying the line you will pay state taxes based on where you reside.

Yes. They'll send an email with details. Respond ASAP with requested flights because Pos Space slots are limited.
