8 to 10 if we are lucky.

5 to 6 make it to the line if we are luckier.

I've heard 15-20, with at least 1 a class being fired for lying on their job history about checkrides, then assume 50% fail training......so not good.

Wow, aren't you guys a ray of sunshine. 20+ per month is what I believe they would like to see in class. How many get through is up to the applicants.

wasn't trying to brighten anyone's day. He didn't ask how many people would air wisconsin like to hire a month. If he did I would have said 75. The truth of the matter is there was a class of 5 and a class of 6 two weeks apart. That makes 11. How many of them make it through.... if history repeats itself and we are being hopeful. 7 or 8 will make it through.

Am I missing something? Don't we sign pria forms that give awac access to our previous employers/fed records? Who is lying? How do you expect to not get caught?

Okay, but technically all those you mention were hired. The fact they didn't make it through training or lied on their app and got fired afterward is a different statistic. Useful info perhaps, but different. Maybe I'm splitting hairs here but I guess it would also be helpful to know why he wants to know. We are losing what, 30+ a month right now.

It's a moving target anyway since we haven't had any numbers to speak of in the last 6 months or so until the UAL agreement came out so I would expect the number of people showing up and getting hired to pick up as we go along.

Increase in hiring bonuses should show that we're falling short.

End of the day, there's still no contract. They're 'just' 50 seaters. This company continues to junior man, reroute, and abuse the pilots to make ends meet. There's absolutely no quality of life if you're a junior first officer because of that. The whole idea that this announcement and meager bonuses would be the end all magic fix to those in toon town is laughable. It's getting worse before it gets better, maybe more bodies will make it better, but clearly if they're willing to almost double incentive bonuses, we are falling short of the hiring goals and that should make people nervous.

So what should they do, not raise the bonus? Obviously they fell behind the curve, what else can they do to catch up?
