And 63 seniority list members went to different pastures. 12 were training departures, so when you get hired for your ability to fog a mirror and get to the training facility on the right day don't think that it's in the bag, you got your assigned sims and a maximum of 10 additional hours of sim to get it to type ride standards. Don't forget the additional risk of IOE, every thing you do and touch is being notated for posterity. 10% are going home without an ID. And no, the panic at the corporate level is palpable, and the training department is getting very astute at deciding when to cut the losses and buy you a ticket home. In my class 1 of 6 new hires went home without an ID.
Assuming you make it through IOE you still have the luxury of probation and working for at an at will company. The deal is never truly sealed. PRIA is not your friend either.....
