besides, all the last group hired last year were temp, they are all returning to the line. They get called back as needed from the line.
Wrong!!! I love how people make Eagle sound like a fly by night operator. We might have issues with management (pilots pay and longevity) and the training department might be an organized mess with the amount of training they are doing but I can assure you that what you describe above is incorrect. It doesn't take anywhere near that long for Instructors Sim or Ground to be fully qualified. Now doing check rides might be a different story!
