With a 365 day AE, what’s the use of training last? You have no idea when they will train the first, middle, or last guy. They could cram all the fleet award in summer, they could drag it out to start the first guy at the beginning of winter. The company doesn’t even know how they want to handle training until the award is complete. (Even then it’s weeks until training is published). There is almost 0 control.

Bypass almost always delays training into the fall or winter when line ops are reduced. Now that we are hitting the retirement/training boom it may change but if the award comes out in April a bypass puts you at the back of the line and more likely to go after the summer.

Thanks a lot

The 717 is ETOPS?:D

It is from JFK to FLL....Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim. 😁

Disgusted by the extreme views of some of the vocal minority currently running the MEC. Apparently when they cannot win a debate on merit or use intelligent debate to sway opinion they resort to violence. Last night the Seattle CA Rep shoved the Atlanta CA rep to the floor in the hospitality suite and proceeded to kick him until he broke his arm in 3 places. He needs to be Sec 8 & kicked out of Alpa. Under normal circumstances I would never advocate for a Pilit to be fired, but he needs to be fired immediately. Hopefully criminal charges will be pending. And if I were the victim here, I would sue him for every last bitter cent he has.:mad:

Ummm.....is this a joke?

Unfortunately no.

Holy cow. That’s crazy.

Has he been arrested? Have charges been filed? If not why? This is a criminal matter not a union matter.
