So do probably 20% of the FOs on property. CAs are a dime a dozen at EDV now. The shortage is pretty much over, once all the incomings get trained, I believe.

According to LCA “which I’m not”
Simulator time for extra lessons and more OE for new hires are the main reasons for the backup. It’s been both new hires and upgrades that are clogging things up. Know your stuff and know where to find it

One or two extra sims seems normal and reasonable given the pool of (no discredit to them) inexperienced pilots being hired and the typical sim delays/warmups, but one should not need 8 PTs, 10 MTs, or 6 LOSes to get through. I think our recruiting and training department is doing a good job though. From talking with captains I fly with most of the FOs hitting the line are great and we have a low washout rate compared to other regionals. Reading the PSA boards here it seems like 25% or so of their new hires wash out and it’s nowhere near that here.
