Someone is feeding you bad info.
We're hiring like crazy, and offering massive bonuses. New hire classes every 2 weeks. Last class I saw was 20 new FOs.
Internally their asking for more experienced line pilots to teach classes or sims. All signs of massive hiring.
Maybe someone is confusing Trans States with GoJet?
Could be that the classes are full of TS pilots coming over for the next month or two. They did offer time credit for up to 15 years on the pay scale.
