Interviews have been stopped. March class was canceled. CP said about 50 people treading water in the pool. Doubtful it is still 50. 737 was still way over staffed. Not sure about this month but last few months they had VLOA. 777 seems overstaffed to me as well as there are many low time lines and still DHs all over as they flip flop between 3 and 4 person crew and blended CVG/LAX/ANC start and finish. Still a handful of 777 guys not flying and sitting at home either because of displacement or very low or zero time lines. Sounds great to spend summer at home until you realize the income is the same as a regional FO.
Rumor of jr 737 FOs might get displaced into 777 because 737 #6 and #7 appear to be dead in water.
Rumors of us operating the rest of the 777's from LAN and also rumor of that deal falling through because of Soaper.
I would expect further stagnant staffing plans as Atlas plans to keep us status quo and not bring us up to Atlas contract standards. Meet the new boss...worse than the old boss.
