With so many different aircraft types vs one type, we cannot get away from the fact that we need more pilots on staff because of training. It's not our job to figure out a way to get pilots through training faster. That's the companys job. It seems they are having problems scheduling training by the last conversion date of and AE bid and with scheduling IOE's promptly. In the next few years they are going to have to figure that one out. Maybe going to the NW way of a monthly equipment bid would allievate the training bottleneck in both instances listed above?
