I was going to say with all the training dates out to January for captains and February for FOs you were wrong, but at 60 new hires a month, the last vacancy maybe get us to November.

I think the company was betting a lot more current FOs would upgrade and as many captains would move around on the last vacancy to open up more spots for new FOs. The company had to dip down to 200 company time- but was only able to find 130 spots for new hires. As an example, they had to shrink NY 200 by 24 spots, I don’t think the company was planning on that.

The QRH is already revised. That's where the memory items come from.

Might want to open your current memos. And perhaps open your Content Locker while on the internet. It will download the memory items for you. (200 pilots only)

Yup... -900 driver. The docs were pretty aligned for a while but seem to have diverged now....

Just guessing, but Content Locker should download it for you even on the 900. I know I get 900 manuals that I have no desire to read. But you can likely browse it there. Just look for the little orange button when you open CL.

The U.S. will face a staggering shortage of pilots

Will the FAA increase the age again or allow single pilot airline ops?

Of course, the government could find a different way to “help”...
