I'm still not grasping how the whole scheduling works (pbs, sap etc.) except that seniority is what rules it.
Constructive criticism is welcome.
Thanks.
We don't have PBS or SAP. But plenty of etc.
We need FOs. If hired we are putting people in class as soon as possible from what I know. And as soon as you can finish SIM you'll be on IOE. Can there be training hiccups and delays? Sure. Most I heard of lately is one month but I've also heard we're catching up on that now. There certainly is no six month delay to starting training here. The newhire bonus is generous. And after IOE new FOs are flying hard. I don't hear of much sitting around.
