Interviewing is one thing, warm bodies in class is another. Actually I prefer warm bodies on the line and still there 1 year late.

Either way, August supposedly we had 28 new hires. Havent had those numbers since pre BK in 2011.

That is what I was thinking. Plus I am guessing, it takes about 2 1/2 months to go from Indoc through IOE. I am sure they would rather send a new hire home for a few weeks rather than not having enough qualified pilots which is why I would guess they would start them by early December. I guess we won't know until they actually get offered in class.

I echo the advice though, in an industry ruled by seniority, getting on as soon as possible is wiser than holding out for a certain aircraft. Years later when you are bidding a CA spot or a Flowthrough class, you are not going to care what you flew as a newhire. Especially if the news about the flow and returning block hours creates a wave of newhires, you further one is on the front side of that wave the better their QOL, upgrade and flow prospects will be.

There are 7 guys in a CRJ 700 class that just finished systems.

Wholly owned with a flow is the way to go now. Shinny jets and fast upgrade in a private/publicly held company is so very uncertain right now.

True. Although Envoy has the added benefit of also having "shiny jets". Or soon to have them in a couple of months I should say.

I would think that as the regionals shrink due to the shortage of pilots, will Parker invest in the wholly owned over a contractor. Why would they put money into RAH, Mesa, Xjet, SKW while letting their own assets sit idle? I would expect AAG to continue to offer more incentives for their wholly owned companies while refusing to pay more at the contracted carriers.
