2. United cut back our block hours in anticipation of this CRJ to ERJ transition training, but they did it in a way that resulted in an inefficient pilot utilization. Fewer block hours, but more duty periods.
3. The CRJs have been an extremely inefficient operation thanks to the frequency of maintenance problems. Those planes are finally going away.
4. The guys coming out of training for the E175 don't really have a plane to fly. We've got two already, another will be here soon, but it's all FAA proving runs until service begins.
This is just off the top of my head.
We can handle growth, just not right away. I think we can ramp up block hours in July and August will be a good month.

That should shorten training and increase availability at the Sheraton.

Also the Sheraton is closer to the Hoot!

Training sim schedules are a **** show. Multiple emails per day with schedule changes, time changes, etc. Go from a 0000-0400 sim block to 1200-1600 block in a 36 hour time period and back again. First you get a bunch of days off, make plans, then get a call that they made another change and you don't have that time off. Ok- stay at the hotel for two days. Then get a call that the added sim is cancelled and you could have taken the time off anyway. No per diem, earn $2200 per month after taxes. Oh but yeah the free breakfast is great!
