New flow plan is out, it has all upgrading FO in training by AUG 2013, this includes the leftover from two bids ago who were scheduled for the fall and all the ones from the last bid. That is 100 upgrades starting training in less than 3 months. It also has all current new hires finishing training by Aug, so most guys who have been going home will be in class very soon. Looks like it will be a busy summer at the school house. Before RJ Chimes in this good for us as we were anticipating the movement to go slower than this. Looks like the training pipeline will be cleared up by AUG. currently the school house is hiring instructors and the bases are hiring check airman in part as we will see check airman and instructors head to AA but also to account for increase in training.
Hopefully the movement continues but we still don't have a defined plan. We do have our union "talking" with management about out cost. Fun summer ahead.
