The more LCA they train the more people will leave. Robbing from Peter to pay Paul.
Oct has some of the least block hours system wide. Can't wait to see what late Nov and Dec look like. Then a lull until May-ish. June/July/August are brutal and always have been except for 2008 just prior to the big crash. I no longer rely on AWAC for my commute after Dec so I can stand back and eat the popcorn.
FO's, GTFO as soon as possible. Go collect your $20k-$30k bonuses and enjoy working for a place that actually has a blueprint to stay solvent while you are still working there.

The FAA is working on a mandate for all airlines to have a mentor program for a bare minimum of new hires. I don't recall hearing anything about it having an option for only Captains. That's why I asked him for clarification. If he's talking about the FAA program I only see it being for new hires. If this is a faux program ZW cooked up just to justify LCAs flying with captains due to staffing then it's a new low.

Of course the answer to that is obvious. I'm mostly curious if this has any connection to the soon be mandated FAA mentor program. That has consequences beyond what's happening at ZW if it's in any way tied to the FAA program.

Has anyone checked out what's going on over on the endeavor boards right now. I know things are bleak here, and they already have some good things going. We need to pay attention to what is going on and still fight for what is reasonable and competitive. I know everyone (mostly everyone) is preoccupied with getting out or stressing about what isn't going on here. Spend a little of that angry energy into positive change and discussion about staying strong throughout your remaining time here.
