Huh. An imbalance of 9 qualifies as "dramatic"?

Thanks for the update C5Mafia

Not the whole picture. Subtract a bunch of CAs who instruct almost exclusively (PBS considers them eligible to bid, even though their schedules are full of pre-awards) and add 60+ FOs hired over the past few months that are not eliglble to bid yet. Yeah, you can add back in a few upgrades but nowhere near 60.

There is a reason CAs get 300% every other day and FOs are sitting on reserve not flying. They've also been taking trips from lineholders for FO consolidation. So yeah. Draw your own conclusions.

Been told that the flying will be picking up more in the spring and increasing further as AW's UA flying ceases in IAD, which is where the bulk of those FOs are.

What's current fleet size with that group?

20th for Class

Somewhere around 64 XRs

Really sorry to hear that. Hope they can get you going again soon

Class Dates
 

Never thought I'd see the day where even CommuteAir's classes are pushed back just as much as the other regionals. What a time...

Just as an update for anybody interested/affected, Feb 20 has been delayed 4 weeks, March 6th delayed 5 weeks, and every class beyond that delayed 6 weeks

I imagine they've put a lid on FO hiring due to a severe captain retention problem. And it looks like the number of DEC's hired over the past 6 months is so small it might as well be zero.
