Doesn’t mean they are having trouble filling classes, just timing/luck.
I have def been squeaky

Naw, probably just had someone defer or drop out. A lot if people have multiple applications to multiple regional's and if the one they REALLY want most comes up, or just one they can get into quicker, they cancel out. For that matter, some people just misjudge how long it will take them to REALLY get their mins, and have to slide to a later class because of weather where they work shutting down flying. It's more common than it is unusual.

But welcome to the party. Summer flying will be starting right about the time you are done with IOE. You DEFINITELY are not going to have to worry about getting your consolidation time, most likely in les than 6 weeks.

And after you get your 1000-121 and DEC at Envoy “when CPZ closes” you can tell your FO all about how bad CPZ was.

Smaller in January because lots of upgrades, they mentioned it on the call. I think 16 upgrades if I remember correctly. Not sure about hiring #s for the months going forward though.

Yeah we are sending recruiters to do office work for the first time this month. Haven’t had guys out there for a few months now. So definitely going to be ramping up hiring.

There’s a lot of information that is given out in this industry that - even if it’s not false from the get-go - winds up changing completely over time. Didn’t a lot of you TSA guys get lured there by the promise of MRJs? Fifty firm aircraft and 50 options? Announced way back in 2010? How’s that working out for you guys?

I don’t think your crystal ball is any less cloudy than anybody else’s.

Do you think it's a coincidence that Delta just happens to have 90 717's?


The A220's will drive replacements more than regional displacement.

And those A220s just cant fill up seats to cities that regional flies to.

Have you seen how successful the deployment of the 717 on “regional” routes has been? Trust me they will have no issues. This just means more mainline jobs for current regional pilots.
