Hey RickB...I wouldn't worry too much. The training dept. is currently working hard to get 30 captain upgrades through training and CA IOE, in addition to training monthly new hire classes and 700 differences classes (about 15 per class for differences). All this training places a high demand on the resources of the check airmen and sim time, so a temporary slow down in hiring makes sense for the time being. I'm sure as soon as the CA upgrades and current new hires get through the sims and IOE, hiring will resume. I don't fly a week without hearing of another CA leaving for a major/legacy/LCC or corporate gig...we need pilots and hiring is the only way to get them Sit tight and I'm sure you'll hear from someone soon.
