BTW, how did you dirty dogs up there in MSP do your SLI's? Wasn't it a requirement 1 month on the line and 1 month in the sim? Not perpetual sim with say 3 months on the line as DAL does? Or obviously heavily DGS?

My old man was a north instructor. It was one month on the line and one month teaching. Instructors were also LCAs. Sometimes they would buy him off 2 months in a row.

Makes sense to me....

I also wonder this... DL used to routinely train 100 pilots a month.

Combined that should equal a capacity for 160 noobs a month on top of normal movements and recurrents.

They are managing expectations for a merger. We had better get along on SLI because Delta can't staff without it and the airline will die, dogs and cats, San Francisco quake and nuclear Armageddon.

The DTW 20 Newsletter today said this, in the contract admin section:

Section 1:
The administration has been made aware of a potential violation of Section D.1 of the PWA. The MEC will receive a briefing from the master chairman in closed session at the meeting.

Seems maybe the rabble rousing here on "Latest and Greatest" has finally prompted the MEC into taking a look at whether RAH is an "air carrier".
Its blatantly obvious that Republic has been thumbing their nose at our scope clause with their holding company / separate certificates charade. Now that even the NMB is set to declare RAH a "single carrier", maybe the administration has decided to enforce Section 1.D.

That language in our contract is very important. The clear intent is to prevent any code-sharing which directly subsidizes competition on larger jets. RAH is a textbook case of this. They're using the guaranteed profits they make from the fee for departure arrangements with Delta to purchase and operate Airbus and Embraer 190 jets that directly compete with Delta jets of the same gauge. That is the exact conduct prohibited under Section 1.D.2.c .

How is it that we can only train 600 pilots a year? When I was hired in 2000 we were hiring 60 a month and now we've got NWA's training center also.

Not as many types of aircraft to send pilots too.

Top end limited. Retirements will come off the top, and that is where the training is the most limited.

Also, the new training cycles eat up a ton of training time.

Block hr limited. We can only deal with a certain percentage of pilots in training at a particular time for schedule integrity.

Point, is we are a lot leaner than we once were.
