So in late 2017 we hired a massive amount of 145 FOs into ORD. This caused a huge amount of back log and extreme cases of low low hour FOs. Those guys were not flying for 4-6 weeks at a time. Many of them missed consolidation (100 hours in 3-4 months) and had to go back to the school house to retrain. Many of these guys left due to lack of flying and nobody faulted them for it. It’s obviously not as bad now but that’s not to say it could get worse.
