throttling back captain upgrades because we were so short of FOs was going to inevitably lead to a captain shortage which is sort of where we are now. Now the good news is that that means shorter upgrade times, but the bad news is that there is a systemwide shortage of E-175 sims and the captain upgrade sims are increasing the difficulty of clearing the training backlog for new hires.
But it appears CJOs are starting to again go out. I would SUGGEST that those who haven't heard from recruiting in a while give them a phone call with a gentle nudge to let them know you are stil interested and an update on any flying hours you've logged since your initial app.
Good luck all.
In order to let them know I'm still VERY interested, my offer still stands to wash cars in the MSP headquarters parking lot in the dead of the MSP winter (or whenever training happens). Ha! All the while, ambiance music will be provided by Peter and The Pan Flute Band featuring TheJetPilot on lead guitar and me on bass. Meal could be provided if BLS air drops some Snack Basket reject items.
