It's hours of classroom time and a dark simulator completely out of site of the public. Nobody here cares if your pants are denim or Khaki. They care if you put forth the effort to succeed or not.
ok Gramps.

But in actual reality, and not the reality you pretend with online, you won't. You either need this flow, or you're a senior captain here and deemed it better to stay put.

Yea that's the spirit. Dog the guy on educating us about another company's work rules. I would like to see specific language instead of his impression or understanding of it

No thanks, Regionals are designed to be stepping stones. Its either a legacy or LCC for me.

Haha! You must not lurk enough. He's not educating. He's trolling.

AND we all know reserve is a problem here. But come on. You really think that because GoJets has better reserve rules it makes it better than envoy? If so they'd have a mass exodus going there.

Heck, one regional is offering to bypass reserve by showing up for Indoc, then sending you home on unpaid leave. How's that sound?

Sounds good. Then why are you still here? Any LLC will take a quailified applicant today.

Not competitive yet. Besides, I'm trying to avoid LCC's if possible.

They are nothing more than regionals with better contracts.

2,000 hours gets you on at an LLC.

Newsflash. Things are working and working very, very well. Ignore his flow diatribe. The flow is contractual and is absolutely not going to stop.
I agree with you that at least for quite a while the flow will likely not stop. But the reason isn't because "it's contractual." The contract is only a recommendation to management, a slight hassle that is overlooked when its inconvenience outweighs the minor inconvenience of dealing with a grievance. The source for that claim is the very long list of grievances we continue to file as a pilot group.

The reason the flow will likely continue for a while is because it is a recruiting tool, and it gives management some control over the otherwise unpredictable rate of attrition, allowing them to make more definite staffing models.

BINGO!!! And they know if they mess with the flow, many of us have our hand on the trigger for a LLC.

And they can't stop the ones leaving for Delta or United.
