A pretty interesting announcement yesterday. 10 new upgrades from the realignment with more continuing every month going onward. Also with ORF closing, it seems they might open up a different outstation domicile at one of the maintenance bases, not sure how I feel about that.

If they are smart,they would open up a southern base somewhere to attract some southern guys,or make it appealing for some to consider.
No one wants to be based in mke or atw.

A mke or atw base would be fantastic here. It would be a giant magnet for all the senior guys.

Except the dozens of super senior people that live in ATW and the people that live north of ORD.

Very few fo resignations on the latest fast read. A handful? More captains resigned than were awarded upgrade. We're absurdly short captains. Hope they start running upgrade classes of 20.

We need CAs. Tired of the phone constantly ringing at all hours for junior man calls.
Rumor has it our number one FO finally took the plunge and is waiting for OE. I texted him congrats.

I think most people average about 700 to 800 hours a year.
