Training Department Displacements
 

Has anybody received any information or have any info about displacements within the 145 training department? May or may not have gotten an e-mail today...

Elaborate??

Does the contract allow immunity to displacements (forced upgrade) if you are in the training department but still on the seniority list?

Basically that due to a lack of people going through the 145 program that Instructors/Check Airman would be forced back into the line

This. It's happening this summer. 45 day notice was sent out today that displacements are coming to 145 sim instructors back to the line. We are overstaffed on FOs and hiring is slowing, with the exception of CA qualified new hires.

Ah, didn't know there was a lack. Thought there were like 300 of us displaced into the 145 CA seat plus a bunch more FOs on reserve that won't meet consolidation. All with no seat lock so things are going to get very interesting.

All bets are off when looking at the future now.

True, been told 20 to 30 of us are heading back to then line this summer, first wave starting May 1st. This isn't good news for the over staffed FOs and new hires.

Rumors of even parking some planes this summer.

How many do we even have on the 145? The smart thing would be to can these garbage PSIs. Multiple failures on their checkrides. The company wouldn’t let them make it to the line, so why have them teaching our new hires?

Should help boost pilot moral.

If recruiting is indeed hiring into a pool and class dates are on pause, it is not a very good sign for any pilot that is not holding the base they want or is looking to get off reserve. The wait to hold a line in your base of choice could go from months to years if the slow down is big enough.

This is a valid point.
