Noted, atta boy! There is nothing worse than getting in an a/c after a crew swap and having to wait for the BTMS

I think it is a bit early for them to worry about that. The proposed rule making notice isn't even on the horizon

We are short staffed..as usual. From the looks of it, basically the company realized we are a little bit too short after this past summers flying. The hiring will be in anticipation of increased summer flying, and dependent on how many furloughs come back. Nothing huge, 20-30 pilots. Also to cover some small attrition.

I spoke to HR on a friend's behalf this morning and apparently no numbers have been finalized, as we still have the guys on furlough to bring back.

Although, the Head of Training seems to think it'll be about 30. In which case the only way you'll get an interview is if you have someone walk in your resume.

30ish new hires seems like a lot just to cover attrition and increased summer flying, especially with people on furlough. Could some of this be in anticipation of MESA liquidating in March, or the new FAA duty regs?

Couldn't it be different for Air Wisconsin?

I know on some aircraft it's 60 knots to prevent ingesting FOD.
