Over half the pilot group had to go through training on a new airplane in such a short period that it hurt the company financially. I hope they do it intelligently.
Well the "dual qual" issue is headed that way. It's going to cost them a boat load of money to put every pilot on the ASA side through the sim. They may think they can just slide it through on the next training cycle like they did with the FO ATPs, but I think a lot of our "older pilots" are going to struggle. Especially is they haven't flown the 200 in a decade.
