Hoping to...interview in 3 weeks, said it was the first available one since they weren't doing anything in the week of the 4th.

With FO's from other regionals? What will upgrade be now, about a year and a half? This has to be enticing to the hundreds of FO's waiting an a 10 year upgrade at Envoy, Skywest, Endeavor, ExpressJet and all the other stagnant regionals.

They will call people for interviews who had filled out applications. Then, they will hire the ones they want to. Then, those people will fly airplanes in the sky.

Wow TSH management must not have thought about this.....

They are really screwed now.......:rolleyes:

This has been going around for 2 years now, yet airlines continue to put pilots into class.

I bet instead of slowing down to a class a month like planned they will just work at doing 2 classes a month. New planes won't come till 1st quarter 2015 so that gives 6 months or so to get people trained which I think is possible. Plus alot of people already wanted to come work here and more will come for the movement with this aa flying. I feel bad for guys flowing because they will probably be held back by as much time as the company can do.

We already are held back as long as possible. But with additional pilots on the seniority list, the remaining flow pilots will get their DL seniority date sooner so it is actually a good thing. It's only a couple months difference but with DL hiring 100 pilots a month that could be a few hundred seniority numbers higher than if they flowed on the current schedule.

haha, pretty simple concept :)

I would bet there will be a new wave of applications after this announcement. I really don't think there will be any issues with hiring in the near term. Who knows long term. Things change so quickly it's impossible to know.

You guys think you'll have no problem getting sim time? I'm indifferent on you guys getting the planes but I just wonder about staffing for the flow AND new airplanes at the same time. When are those coming on property?

We get another sim with the airplanes. In STL.

Great question, we have all been asking those same ones ever since the rumor started.

The LCA I was doing OE with last week said that so many initial training slots come with the purchase of the new airplanes.

We'll see I guess.
