Yep, it's true.

Training department is stretched thin. There are not enough instructors and they can't train new ones fast enough.

……..………PHX?

There are 737 sims in PHX.

What does that mean? Did they have training scheduled in PHX, showed up but there were no instructors or are they just getting a longer break in between sims?

New hires get per diem while training in PHX, versus SEA. My guess is, if there wasn’t enough instructors for a week or two, then they sent everyone home to wait it out instead of having them sit in PHX and pay them all that per diem.

Or staying in a hotel instead the comfort of their own home...I'd rather sit at home and not collect that per diem.

Or you could collect the per diem, while you jumpseat home until they find an instructor and build you a schedule.

Depends on how short of a leash you want to be on.

That was a very depressing email to receive. Very amateur hour.
