was talking to a check airmen yesterday in DC. He said he was up at ATW doing interviews last week and when he went to sign into the office the people who signed in before him were listed under the name "Mitsubishi Aircraft Company" not that this really means anything cause im sure Mitsubishi is running around to every regional in the business to support there product but they were there! Also management just hired 4 new permanent sim instructors who will be considered management. they will be based in CLT. all 4 guys are ex comair. getting some people with experience for possible 900 training??? :P. i seen one of them in DC in the crew room with a check airmen to do IOE. even though they are permanent sim instructors they still have to complete IOE as part of there training. also 10 new check airmen just hired.
