Don't forget CHO. That place is hopping.

There's a reason why I left CHO and PIT out :-)

How are things rolling along at TSA? I am slotted for a march class and look forward to starting.

Is the movement and growth still happening? Any signs of changes to come? For me the biggest draws to this place are the bases and the movement.

I hear things from the PDT threads that they will be taking back some of the AA flying. Any thoughts on this?

Good to hear you're interested in coming aboard. Right now, TSA is a good place to be... Fast movement and a decent contract.

RDU is definitely opening. They interviewed for a chief pilot last week. It's supposed to open in Feb, though I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed to March. If that's where you want to be based, and you can start soon, you will have it pretty good. You should be able to get RDU right away and spend little or maybe even no time on reserve... Again, if you start soon.

If you want more info on the company, shoot me an email. [email protected]. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Things are still moving. We still have roughly 10-13 airplanes still to be delivered for the United side (not exactly sure of the number). And we are still well under our total hiring goal. So hiring will continue for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, once/if we can staff this flying, we can secure some more airplanes from United. Upgrade times are still very quick.

All of the American 145s are on property. They will be split between STL and RDU, with most of them slated for RDU I think. In terms of American taking back their flying... Who knows. We have a four year contract to fly the American birds, so they will not go anywhere prior to that. It just depends on what American needs when the contract expires and who can do it the cheapest. It's all part of the regional shuffle. Impossible to predict whether we'll keep flying them or not after the contract expires.

If you have any questions or want info on the company, shoot me an Email... [email protected]. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Good luck!

They can have them back.

Have they announced or given any indication on who is taking K2s place? Isn't PE the chief instructor making K2s position the next stop?

CBreezy

Agreed.

Hey, I've heard that one Envoy guy had drinks with Doug Parker and he said that he wants to send them all to Envoy and that a different guy from Piedmont had Doug tell him over a drink that he wanted to send them all to PDT. And then, over more drinks, Doug outsourced flying to TSA and XJT. Lots of drinks to be had. I hope Doug didn't drive home...

Position was just listed as open today. Wouldn't expect to see it filled for a couple of weeks at least. PE would be an awesome Director of Training so it probably won't happen....

K2 was OK, but being out of town a lot was an issue however.....
