How do we unwind this mess? We have pilots who haven't gone to training because of limited capacity and we are about to create more training events. For pilots with multiple awards, it seems that converting them without training for the middle awards, while training them on the final award makes the most sense.

I would agree with you GS hypothesis.

Not your "sleep" though

Hate autocorrect as well.

Good question, there has to be more flexible options out there for the company, FAA & ALPA to pursue. Too many stories of training on something when you're about to displaced from, going to CQ the week before starting on a new bird, etc.

The training department has already been at max capacity for several months now on multiple fleets. A significant amount of resources was spent on folks that have reinstatement rights, particularly those displaced off the non closed ER bases. Either a bigger picture we are missing or an incredible waste of resources.

I predict we will be working our way out of a self-imposed training disaster for another 12-18 months. Upcoming AEs will get massaged beyond belief to award short courses and normal requals while avoiding IQ.

Please bring on the AEs though.
i can assure you, we are nowhere close to our max training load. Plenty of sim time open every day.

What about instructors? I've emailed the training planners and I get blank looks, virtually of course.
