Sooooo, about three weeks ago when I was in LAS, I was told we are hiring 10-11 new Bus instructors. Add to that, this month's class is over 20, next month is over 40, and they are gearing up for 30 a month for "a while."

Are they planning on serious attrition soon? If not, something doesn't add up...

Jude left and the plan to maintain the status quo while the transition happened was put to rest. Expansion is back on and hiring will boom.

Jude left to pave the way for a smoothe merger with Sun Country. You heard it here first.

Agreed. I doubt we'd acquire them "for pilots" either, since we have plenty of very well qualified applicants beating down the door for a job here.

Multiple managers have said that Jude didn't exactly "leave" on his own terms, either.

Oakland has a relatively busy schedule for their 1 airframe with flying 7 days a week. You have lots of commuting options on SW and then SJC/SFO can serve as decent backups. I think most pilots based there live in their parents basement but there's a few that suck it up and rent/buy a place. Lots of SW pilots live on boats which may be a good option. Reserve guys never get called and you would most likely receive a courtesy call the day before if you were to be used. It's a very small, isolated base and it doesn't operate like the rest of the company due to that fact.
