Skywest's new hire classes are literally filled through September. 55+ upgrades for July and that will continue as attrition is 50-60 pilots a month and will continue to increase.

Most are CJOs from pre covid. They have about 600 CJOs to get through before any off the street. Also Republic is only doing cadets and CJOs right now.

Incorrect. At OO off the street hires and cadets are in classes now and classes are filled through Nov. Two classes of 40+ per fleet/per month.

They were finished assigning classes to CJOs in May. OTS hiring started late May.... the more you know.......

Also, I have no intel on what republic is doing.... never stated I did.

Well if all these "better" companies are hiring, why do people keep turning up to class at C5? Maybe C5 can offer a class starting next week but the others are months away?

Maybe cause upgrade is real fast at Commutair right now.

​​​​​It's a bit presumptuous coming into a public forum and insinuating people are crazy for coming to C5 when you don't know their personal circumstances.

Prior to COVID, C5 couldn’t handle the flying they had. XJT was going to start getting C5 flying after they absorbed the TSA flying. Then COVID changed everything and UAL took advantage of the situation to kill off the expensive XJT.

However it appears C5 is already having trouble staffing for the size UAL planned for it. GoJet is also having trouble staffing.

The hiring floodgates are opening up everywhere and will soon be more robust than pre-COVID. Very little reason to go to C5 or GoJet now and those already there will be moving on rapidly.

C5 performance will continue to go downhill. Grab some popcorn.

He is sharing information. In my opinion, your comment was uncalled for.

I don’t think the comment of our performance going downhill and grabbing pop corn and watching was called for . Me and a lot of other work our behinds off to make sure we are on time and performance numbers stay strong.

"Stay strong"???? Dude, 6 out of 6 isn't exactly strong. Too much growth too quickly, and without the resources to do so is a recipe for disaster.
