The training department has been almost doubled, expect 2 classes per month indefinitely, 1 to cover attrition and 1 to slowly grow the list. By the way, it cost significantly less to replace attrition than to pay the whole pilot group a respectable wage with work rules, even when cancelled flight revenue is factored in. As long as new hires continue to show up, there will be no TA for years.
It doesn't help that the company sends out bi-polar messages about the state of negotiations, and the union does a cryptic facebook video once every few weeks. There is almost no communication from either side about what is going on, what the plan is, or anything else.
