And how did we get 45 new hires in one class PLUS another class for that month? Surely that referral bonus isn't working that well, as I think anyone who would come here because of a referral bonus would come here anyway. The extra bonuses (iPad, food pay, ioe bonus, etc) could also be to blame (credit?). The pool of applicants is dry, they say...
The gaps in the Jan 7 class is the 20+ CRJ pilots. The total class size was close to 50 combined. I don't know how big the Jan 16 class is yet. Additional EJET sim slots are coming from entitlement credits through FSI in STL and we're using a couple of their instructors too to help with training resources. We have 100% of sim slots on the DFW sim now (we run that thing 20 hours a day) and we can also get some YYZ slots too on occasion. I'm not saying a big class won't create a backlog, it probably will.
