From: A320 FO
Total shutdown? No. Definitely a slowdown though. Its hard to say how well staffed we are at the moment. Both on the FO side and CA side of the reserve list gets zero'd out fairly often so we could definitely do with more of both. Each base is growing with more lines being added each month to support the new aircraft that are being delivered. Hiring usually slows down in the summer so I'd expect it to pick up again in the fall. That is just me looking at my magic 8 ball though.
Everything hinges on what happens in the fall. If demand holds up then hiring will resume. If not then shrink to profitability begins.
So cross your fingers that people keep buying airline tickets with money they don't have and credit card companies continue to let them.
This is how fast the music stops. Hiring occurs at such a breakneck pace that movement seems to be permanent then in the space of a month or six weeks all the desirable employers stop hiring and less than a month later so does almost everyone else.

I suppose it might go either way. Piedmont's pretty small. And with all the new 175s coming in, it probably wouldn't make sense to resort to that drastic of measures, but somebody else pointed out that whenever one WO carrier takes action, the others likely aren't far behind. As cryptic as EPR is, we probably wouldn't hear of it until the decision has already been made.

Do we know if there was an indoc class that started today, and if so how many were in it? Unless something changed, I am expecting to get a call this week to be scheduled for both CTP and Indoc when I called last. I wish we would all at least get another update email so we can have some sort of idea of what to expect in the coming weeks.

I believe they are still accepting applications but they have not met for a Captains Review Board in +5 weeks (even for cadets). On top of that they have 100-150 (maybe more?) people waiting for class dates to be assigned. They are taking people in order of thier old orientation date and within that they are scheduling cadets first. From what people have been saying on here, a lot from the May orientation group have yet to be rescheduled.
