- sign of more planes? Why do we now have 225 ER7 CAs? 225/5= 45. That’s right, with this bid we are now preparing to staff 20 additional airframes. This is basically the big announcement!!
- no backfill was awarded with this bid. The company is now in the position of having to put out a 19-06 bid ASAP. 19-05 created around 80 CA vacancies. Combined with the vacancies due to attrition there should be well over 100 ERJ CA vacancies.
- with this many openings, the next CA awards will drop very close to the 18 month/1000 hr mark.
- while your buddies are still on reserve at SKW or END, you will be close to CA upgrade at XJT!!
DSPS, you've stated that you are a new hire at ExpressJet. Yet you seem to have your finger on the pulse of flight operations, recruiting, and our future. So, DSPS come clean are you really a new hire or someone from the GO? I don't have a problem if you're from the GO just be honest!
