I was in the same position and chose to give it a shot. I have my checkride in a couple weeks and then will see how things really are. But my .02 up to this point is unless you are from FL and want to stay in FL go somewhere else. This place is a bit of a circus. Since I've been in training we've been in almost 3 IROP situations and each takes 5-10 days to get the system cleaned up. There is no communication on what's happening from the Union in regards to IROPS, the phantom displacement bid cancellation, either potential merger, etc.. The only communication we see from management is apologizing for the situations. That gets old quickly.. At this point they seem checked out. They are doing nothing to try to stem the ridiculous attrition that is taking place in the right seat and they seem content to just cancel flights, park the 319s and wait it out until they can collect their checks from a merger.

We have a town hall later next week and I guarantee they talk about cutting flights and parking airplanes leading to no upgrades over the Summer and stagnation in any growth and the seniority list until a merger happens. Again, unless you're dead set on FL and this is your only option to get out of the regionals, go somewhere else!
