Check Airman classes “full”
 

Just read that check airman classes are full at “THE FLIGHT ACADEMY.”

The hand selected candidates have reported for duty! Through these doors…

Plenty of ladder climbers and brown nosers who can't wait to do the job. Must be those special wings and name tag.

Wouldn’t believe 90% of the stuff from CNR

read it from where? Lord I hope this isn’t true. You’d have to be living under a rock to not understand what NOT taking these positions mean right now…

I feel the same. It’s from someone currently in recurrent.

Every airline has their fair share of “Marvin mainliners” waiting to serve. Guys who are “climbers” and want their name on a door. Any door. There are times when it helps the collective effort to say “no thanks, not now”. Marvin mainliner doesn’t care about that.

Lori just posted something again on AApilots so there are still SOME openings, but not many according to the msg....but if it's like a vacancy then 5 openings could mean 40!

I would hate to be a check airman and have to say “early 2022” when someone asked me when I got hired as a CK. Not a good look. I’m guessing we are going to have some interesting personalities find there way into the training department. Chiefs are literally cold calling captains to find candidates.

Fixed it. Abandon all hope.
