I had to amend the Pinnacle tail numbers. Also, the four EVs with the VNAV button have 4.2 FMSs but I don’t know what GPS or Multi Mode Receivers they have. Also, I’ll be posting here shortly a good common way to fly with the recently informed single GPS aircraft.

A little background on this. All units that have been affected with the Leap upgrade (Russian hacking if you ask me) will have to physically have their hardware removed, formatted and then reloaded with the “leap second” patch clearing (again my hunch is that foul play is involved). That’s why we will go to single GPS whilst the other ones get worked on. I’m expecting yellow needle operations but again, give me 2 legs of flying these mods and I’ll post a common solution here...cos TalkTurkey talks turkey.

I believe that the January-June classes have had less than ten new hires in each and in some months less than five.

Does anyone know how many will be in July and August? I’m curious as to when they’ll return to larger classes.

How many hours/year are folks getting based in NYC?

Thanks

Word is September is when the big classes start. I'm frankly surprised they've been hiring at all.

STEP would be all but dead if they didn't keep the pipeline from colleges flowing to some degree. From what I've heard, that's been the main source of new hires lately.

If I'm wrong, then someone please step in...

It's as if grads were being propled to 9E.:D

Boooooooooo! Boooooooooooooo.

Actually, that was kinda funny.

Propled? Led by props? Lol

Class size of eight (8) starting today.

Meanwhile over a daddy Dixie:

The following FCR:

A captain writes: "I had an encounter with a flight attendant concerning the jumpseat. She TOLD me that she was riding the jumpseat when she stepped into the cockpit and presented her boarding pass. I asked her if she was asking to ride on the jumpseat and she told me again, no, she was telling me she was riding the jumpseat."

Flight Operations replied: "Thank you for your FCR, Captain. The requirement in the FOM is for a cabin jumpseater is to introduce themselves to the captain and flight leader/purser and provide them with a copy of their jumpseat pass. While asking permission may have been the traditional interpretation and a matter of good etiquette on Delta and OAL flights, it has not been required for multiple years. This does not mean that the captain cannot deny a jumpseater if they do not meet other requirements, such as appropriate dress or conduct."
