They have Flight Engineers from a defunct fleet type who technically are furloughed because they couldn’t move to FO. That part of the page needs to be updated also, most are off the list and over 65 now.
Other updates for that page
Pilots 306 now and climbing.
First year pay now $117 per hour instead of $113.
Most junior upgrade now 2 years exactly on the 767. Slightly longer on the 777. However, we’re getting more 777’s and going to expand from pax only to pax & cargo. Expect upgrades to drop even more. Getting in now is the key. Getting hired after they show up on property could potentially trap guys in the right seat as normal attrition now is by retirement and senior FO’s and a few junior CA’s going to UA/DL/AA/FEDEX/UPS... none are leaving for LCC’s anymore. CA attrition from other than retirement has gotten very low. Not many want to go back to commuting, crashpads, standby travel, and waiting on vacation awards to go someplace.
