Agreed, captainv...Training Dept knows the limitations of a small fleet, and training new Captains has become a priority (obviously). And once they get checked out, pairing requirements prevent new FOs from getting their 100 hours because new Captains and new FOs can't fly together!!

And giving OE to new FOs has even affected line qualified FOs and CAs for landing currency...

All that is a well-known condition in the last 4 years since all the hiring we have been doing since April 2010.

That said, 4 PCs in one year...is not good either, because they then become jeopardy events, and is an additional weight to carry around while waiting for OE or getting the 100 hours.

Also, I'm one for NOT doing the company's work for them...they know the situation, they will make that call to get you out on OE. So, put your hands in your pocket, and wait for that phone to ring...IMHO.
