Per internal email from a Managing Director (which I will not post in full due to policy and sensitivity) stated that “we have recently experienced increased Flight Instructor attrition and qualification delays, leading to us not having enough Training personnel to instruct all classes. As a result, we have canceled the XXXXX Captain Upgrade class, reducing our total June vacancy to XX Captain positions…Although First Officer attrition did not cause this change, we are keeping a close eye on Pilot departures and may adjust future Crew staffing plans if needed to maintain seat balance.

If only one could have seen that coming…! Ratios already are becoming imbalanced, and it appears we think that is going to continue or get worse as pilots leave, and we cannot fill classes. SWA: it’s time. Enough monkeying around and fix this. Leading contract NOW.

Poopoo out.
