The r-atp people will need more than 2 months to get it, especially if they're not LAX based. Mins - 2500 total, 1000 121. Guy comes in with 1200 and msp or dtw might take a while to get 2500.

Ok system chief told me he didn't know, but if he could guess said 30. Director of training said same thing. ALPA rep said they ask new hires to fill out info sheet with flight experience, but they haven't been using it to calculate upgrade mins and are also unsure how many are/will be below mins. In short, its not being tracked and nobody knows for sure.

30-90 sounds good to me! Plus a few will probably bypass to hold MSP. There was a few classes full of instructors earlier this year.

On another note: I heard a crew room is being constructed in SEA.

So is Compass taking any CFI's or are they only interviewing previous 121 folks? And is the 4-year degree still a minimum?
