Were there no-shows? How in the world are they going to triple in size while only hiring a dozen a month.

The dash 8 training pipeline is over capacity and there is currently a 4+ week delay for ioe. Once they get that fixed they can have bigger classes. Right now they only need 14/mo to fill the jet.

How many -145 revenue flights a day are there right now? I'm told they only have two or three airplanes; how many revenue flights are there a day with those airplanes?

Recently talked to a new FO who waited 7 weeks from his checkride to the start of IOE.

What's the pay FO's receive when picking up extra trips on days off? Is the pay same if you pick up and one trip or if you accept a trip from another pilot?

For someone hired now, what's the realistic flow time to United? like if you already have 500TPIC? Is there a large backlog of guys waiting to get in? Are a lot of guys getting shot down in the United portion of the interview or is the pass rate pretty good?

There aren't any published stats on guys getting in.
You need 1000TPIC with commutiar to be eligible to "flow"
Everyone on the seniority list as of 11/15 flows in seniority order. Everyone else flows in order of interview.
The first 10 flow later this year, its probably a safe bet it'll take 3-4 years at a min.

I think that's a good estimate, but it may take less than that. All unofficial signs indicate to only about 40 people being accepted into the program as of late. I heard the number for next year is somewhere around 30, meaning anybody that's in now could actually be gone by next year, or having to wait on getting the requisite time to "graduate" from the program.

One that that is for sure is that the more people at C5, the more people we'll have flowing to United.

Pay from other pilots is regular pay +whatever they are willing to pay to have you cover for them. Pay from open time is regular unless its available for 1.5x pay. Generally tis is when they are short pilots and desperate to cover work, which is often as we grow and all new pilots are in training.
