The problem with training is a lack of instructors. They don't treat instructors very well and the only guys interested are the ones who live in STL. They have been after a concessionary contract for the last year and that had nothing to do with staffing although management has been talking that up recently. Keep in mind "so well staffed" for TSA is normal staffing for everyone else. Lots of trips in open time. No premium yet for FOs, but its coming. Look for the Junior manning to start in April.
