Weren't you in here talking about how people could come here and upgrade fast? How can you upgrade fast if you need 1000 hrs 121 time? Don't you need to, uh, you know, FLY to get thise hours.
I'm sure the prior 121 guys are loving staying at home making next to nothing, but I'm sure your real new hires aren't enjoying it one bit.
Oh to the contrary my good sir. Our new hires are traveling the world for several months at a time paid. It's a wonderful experience. We have guys in Europe, SE Asia, visiting cities all over our wonderful country. All paid with benefits. It's been a true blessing. Opportunities like this do not come around that often. When they come back from vacation, they will get a few sim warm up sessions before going on to IOE.
It's a great time to be a PSA pilot for sure.
