Even with this new (high value aviator program) there WILL NOT be enough qualified people in the next vacancy bid... in March/April. Mark My Words.
Well, that's a given.
The spring of 15 NHs were hired directly into the 175 for the most part. They are going to be reaching 1000 hours soon. There may be 50-75 guys reach 1000 hours in the next few months. After that the hiring ramped up and then the training back logs started. Getting the senior FOs out will help build time but that's not going to give relief for a while.
JMs and critical coverage is on the horizon for CAs.
