yea Kangaroo, Im in that class w 14 people, great bunch of guys 4ATR, 10 CRJ, I mthe most Junior on the RJ and the 6 most Jr. in the class are all getting a week off starting tomorrow since they are backed up.... but i agree with you, it lll help them to catch up on things, however when the schedules come back with 400+ flights again im sure they will be utilizing everyone and maybe be possibly short again, who knows you can never tell in this industry, but I do like it here so far, just focusing on training and letting the guys and gals who ve been here a while to take care of labor agreements and contracts etc etc.....ps - yes the avg. hours for our class was like 800TT, I think i was one of the lowest in my clas w another guys we both have alitle over 500TT
