Once F/O's get there ATP's, they'll be slangin resumes left and right. Hopefully that should open things up. I heard the August class was pushed back to Sep. something. If majors would open some gates up...

Yeah as if that will get people so many opportunities. An ATP without t-pic is as useful a gun with no bullets. I have been here 6 years and have flown with capt who have wanted to leave for 4 and had no place to go. Pretty sure some fo with an wet-ink ATP and no other credentials will be a tougher sell.

Just getting your ATP will not suddenly make the majority of SJS F/Os wildly marketable, especially if they don't know the difference between 'there' and 'their' and 'F/O's' and 'F/Os' and 'Slangin' and *** that means out there.
