After one year and 500 hours at United he will be going to upgrade training unless someone else bids his slot. With slowed hiring, hopefully that happens since he's not ready. I'm personally hoping that hiring does not get back to the pace that it was. Controlled growth is good, but the unchecked growth that we were experiencing was a problem waiting to happen.
I’ve yet to fly with an FO at AA that didn’t have some TPIC, but I keep reading about people getting hired at legacies with no PIC and frankly very little TSIC, how common is this at UAL?
