Line Pilots requiring sim time get priority over new hires for obvious reasons.
It has created kind of a perfect storm for 3-4th quarter and going into the new year.

If there’s training bottlenecks is that because there’s more people in the training department leaving that are causing the training delays? Just curious.

It’s not a new thread worthy discussion, but I’m sure it didn’t help folks trying to get checked out, keep a decent line (but maybe it could have changed it for the better) or just get home to ANC while some were trying to continue on to their Asia homesteads. Blizzard up here in ANC delayed, diverted and tormented some crews quite a bit. Aircraft couldn’t leave, no parking available and several had to be parked on the taxiway when they arrived for several hours running the apu. Just talked to a crew member not long ago who was stuck on their aircraft for over 10 hours after arrival. Unsure if it might have helped much, but we need our new location/ramp as soon as possible. Couple of years probably (more is a guess) we’ll see.

Any updates on training delays after Indoc? I’m interested in the 777 fleet specifically as I start in May, but if you have any fleet updates to training delays please share.
Thanks.

The hiring has slowed down significantly and one reason for this is to allow the TC to catch up.

Now this is based on current projections and they have missed before.
