I don't know who exactly they meant were overstaffed, but I can assure you Envoy is not overstaffed. Critical coverage every month, blanket denials of PVDs, junior manning, etc...I assume you mean Coast is over capacity?

Starting CAE on Friday and driving up to Dallas tomorrow but I haven't gotten any hotel reservations from recruiting and no one seems to be picking up the phone over there? Any idea on whats going on/any idea on what I should do?

Take this as what it is but the Pilot recruiter Captain (whoever) that gave the brief that day said that as off that day the company was over staffed by 200 pilots. Also, that the RTP was backed up to about 10 months with no prior fixed wing flight time (not my case).

I can believe a recruiter told you that. But the notion that we are overstaffed at the moment is laughable. If you tell any line pilot we are overstaffed, they'd laugh in your face. If we were overstaffed, we wouldn't be zeroed out on reserves on a daily basis, we wouldn't be metering flow, we'd have zero and part time lines, we wouldn't be junior manning guys into days off, we would be able to get personal days approved etc....I'm not trying to give you grief, I just think it's asinine that recruiting is trying to say we're overstaffed.

Overstaffed? HA! We are no where near overstaffed. There will be no slow down on hiring. Look at how that effected Compass. They stopped hiring for 6 months and when they started back they couldn't get any applications. If we're going to keep flowing, we have to keep hiring. Hiring and recruiting will continue to be a max effort because the company is always thinking about growth and expansion. They want more airplanes on the line. Those 40ish other 140s sitting at SJT aren't generating any revenue.

I really hope we can ramp up the training department and get through the back log so we can really get growing.

They are pulling all the 140s out of SJT. It's not hard to realize that we are heavier on FOs than CAs. With MIa opening up and ORD getting some 175s this will create even more short term surpluses and shortages. I don't think anyone has an exact number the number of pilots we are going to be. Suffice it to say we are going to hire as many as we can train. We will grow or shrink as hiring or attrition determines.

It's a shame they aren't able to create a abbreviated transition course for previous 121 guys. Considering the amount of guys they could potentially get from other regionals.. I am sure our friends at the FEDS would have a field day with that, but that could expedite the process a bit. I can tell you the indoc is generally the same at all companies except a few company specifics.
