It seems awfully strange to have just had such a large class Jan 5th (large enough that they are running AM/PM classes) and have started another class this past Monday on 19th (albeit smaller).
Attrition isn't even close to justify the hiring they have been doing. One could say they are hiring anyone, at anytime, because they want to be ahead of the game. No argument with that, but its still odd given how they never typically have run AWAC with a mass of extra bodies hanging around.
The seniority list is extremely odd and really frustrating me. The official list (as of Jan 9 this year) shows 793. FLICA shows me at 567 out of 831. The freaking PIFS showing you new hires are in the 1,000s. I really cant imagine there are 200+ management pilots here.
I have been here 1.5 years. I was 733/733 as a newhire when I bid for my first base. There is no way they have only hired 60 some people in that time. I get the horrendous (and embarrassing) washout rate here, but that still doesn't add up in the slightest. What do I know though.
