I can only remember one 200% day in the recent past for FOs. CAs get 200% when EWR finds a cloud and starts running a 5 hour GDP.

Yea, I apologize. Just looked back at the emails. It’s almost all for CAs at 200%.

Default Direct-entry CA in May: Will I be too late?

Interview on Friday for direct entry captain. Won’t have my 1,000 hours until May 2019 timeframe. Desire EWR. Will I miss the gravy train and get stuck on months and months of reserve by then or will fleet growth keep up? Also what % of the time should I expect to fly right seat as a CQF?

Well, Commutair has said that they want 60 aircraft and they’re at 31, so you’re probably Ok.

Awards for 25 CA spots in April came out this week. We had 9 people qualified to get those 25 spots. All 9 are new hires.

We're so short captains that any CA that comes here in the next 3-6 months (at least) will have nothing to worry about other than the usual CQF stuff, and even that won't last long with all the backfilling going on.

Put my stuff in 10 min ago for a DEC spot. What are guys averaging per month credit lately? Would be leaving a pretty good 91 job for this, but know that time is running out to get into the "wave" with everyone else.

From this post am I understanding it correct when saying that these 9 new hires are no longer considered CQF but went straight to Captain being above the 5% seniority problem? now that I type this out seems like thats impossible and you were simply saying they were awarded the captain spot in training as was supposed to happen

No. They most likely will be CQFs for a month or two.

The company considers it the bottom 5% of the qualified captains. Until finishing IOE, they are not qualified.

The way the timing works between finishing IOE, designation of CQF's and determining eligible bidders, they may fly a month as CA before being designated as CQF and assigned right seat training.

With our staffing level right now though, it is doubtful that they will be used much as FO's, due to the shortage of captains.
