In turn that will create more space to get more jet deliveries.
So the MOU has turned into a signed deal?

Yes it has. And if we get to staff 61 jet properly, United will give the option for 40 more. So constant growth for CommutAir if we can handle it.

I think you are just here for confirmation to yourself that you made the right choice to leave. You made the right choice man, because your choice was based on your family and that's more than good enough.

No, I’d like others to know what kind of place they are considering. Potential new hires shouldn’t be hearing that C5 is getting 100 airframes. There is nothing to support that other than some random screen name posting on APC. I’m still waiting to see if the company can even staff the 40 they are contracted to fly.

If you are considering C5, understand upgrades are not fast, it is not once you get 1000 121 despite what recruiters tell you. There are MANY pilots still waiting over a year now for that upgrade. Staffing 40 airplanes still seems very difficult.

New hire numbers were purposely kept low until all the transition pilots get through systems. The last transition class just started systems so expect to see bigger new hire classes. The goal is at least 30 per month, I think we will hit that number (or come very close) for Feb and Mar. The new second year pay is definitely helping attract applicants.

Management watching us you have already failed in delivering results. The only way to prove yourself to the critics is to deliver those fully staffed 100 airplanes. Everything else is ancillary and anything short of this is simply bar talk. I personally recommend you make better use of your time and start delivering results. I honestly don’t care how many airplanes are on property today or how many people are in the training pipeline or any of the excuses/training/ retention issues you keep coming up with. All I care about is seeing these results and seeing them yesterday anything else is simply unsatisfactory.

Sorry mate, I didn't sign up for any test on APC to be considered as a failure. Anyway, I'll keep LEAKING and you sir just take it for wat it's worth, nothing until you get your results.

As I was saying. So that option for 40, IF we manage 61, will go towards the next base opening. Of course not as the same time the base opens, since we are way behind on deliveries.

Look for ramp up of new hires in the coming months. Management will be depending on extensions heavily because we want to get a lot more block hours from United. Finances not looking so good since the big sign on bonus and new LOA is costing them, and United is getting grumpy.

United looking to revamp the CPP to make it more attractive for new hires to come to CommutAir. Possibly remove the Hogan.

Cheers
