anyone know what the deal is with the two NH's that got awarded CA class? are they management? new CP's?

There’s a couple on there that are 7-8 mo hires, and NH on the stand-by list. A few of those names are still hanging on the tail sitting in the right seat, but hey 1000hrs of 121/135 means you’re qualified!!

So if I have 550 hours of 135 turbine time, will that help me upgrade faster? lol

JC was a very senior LCA since the MSP era, heard he moved on to the big guys after MSP closed, things happened, not sure why.

FWIW, I’m a 2016 hire been here approaching 2 years, I have 1000 SIC at compass but PH won’t let me upgrade until I hit 1500ME. So the real choke on upgrading pilots is the CBA minimums for some of us in the upper 1100’s on the seniority list

I find it hard to believe they’re going to be able to hang on to those minimums, but maybe that’s the hope talking

Does it take PIC time to get hired there now?

Wait are you saying that he is the same JC?

Don't accept the RNAV visual fine, accept a regular visual and then use it, I don't get the big deal. It's just better for situational awareness.

Yep, I agree 100%.
And maybe the read file does allow for that, but it didn’t come off that way.
