So what is so good about, best case scenario would 50 guys get a ATP.
SB told me back on September 1 that this was a done deal, just waiting for the final paperwork from the feds. He said EVERY FO at OH will be getting the ATP and Type on their recurrent checkride. My answer was "Well, I just did my recurrent, and you're now telling me I'll probably be furloughed (again) before it is time for my next recurrent." His reply, "Ohhhh"
Here it is 6 months later, and they still aren't doing what he said was a "done deal". That place (and it's management) is a joke. Sooooo glad to not be there anymore!
