Congrats on the offer! I've been here 2 years and have really enjoyed it. You'll actually make enough here as an FO and somewhat enjoy your life. A lot of movement and they are continuously hiring so you'll get some seniority in reasonable time frame.

Absolutely nothing, I mean nothing adds up to the notion we are closing Dec 31st. We have a 2 year extension that is at the SOLE discretion of AWAC to utilize. Parker can't do jack about it. We met all the performance parameters to gain the extension. Now it's only for two years so after that, this place really could close without a new contract with someone. That's for another time.

Now could the owners decide not to utilize it? Sure, but *** would you? If they want to be done there's no reason not to ride it out another 2 years and continue to make money.

I look at it this way. There is no reason in hell you continue to hire and keep running classes into the summer if we're closing in 7.5 months. Zero reason. For all the people that say it's to try and keep the operating going when people bail - come on and really think about this for a second.

A new hire next month is reasonably not going to be out of the sim until mid-late August. Our training department is a total disaster right now and every class lately has had sim/instructor availability issues.

So your really going to invest in all of these new hires who won't even be getting off OE until September and even later (for summer classes)? That makes absolutely zero sense. They are getting no return on their investment. It's not cheap hiring someone and getting them on the line. There is no way were hiring guys only to help out for 2-3 months on reserve.

I was a June hire. I finished OE Sep 28th. Another poster here said after he gets his last 250hrs that he's looking at a tentative August class. He might start OE in December.

Not shutting down Dec 31st.
