Even if you went through Mesa or PSA, but you have all the rest, you’re still a respectable candidate. My point is that the whole mantra that airlines only care about the FAA certificates is a load of crap. Especially and the major level, checking boxes is only part of the minimum requirements. |
Eh......how is my post “all about me”? I certainly didn’t upgrade in 18 months and become an LCA. If relating what I see with my own two eyes makes it “all about me”.......then sure, you got me pegged.

I think he was agreeing with you in general, not being sarcastic.

Hmm...I think you’re right, actually. I was just confused by the attack.

Meh.
1. You don’t find new hires or FSI teaching at XJT. I know of one guy who became an instructor at PSA after one year, no prior 121 or Jet time. He was good, but not that good. Something about “the blind leading the blind”. 2. You see XJT FOs getting hired at majors, LCCs and ULCCs on a regular basis. No statistics, but it seems to happen more than other regionals. |

Lots of the guys leaving the training center now (especially in the cpp) where all on property less than 1 year before being an instructor.

PSA- 12 month reserve, overstuffed on FOs, light flight time.
Republic- no classes available for the rest of the year. Endeavor- classes full. Skywest- classes full through summer. Commutair- getting fat on FOs, need captains. |

Boy, life would be a lot simpler if I could put my head in the sand and drink management's koolaid. The rate of change in total pilot count has definitely slowed, but still trending down.
Xjt pilot count 6/1 - 1865 7/1 - 1824 8/1 - 1769 9/1 - 1687 10/1 - 1642 11/1 - 1597 12/1 - 1541 1/1/2019 - 1502 2/1/19 - 1470 3/1/19 - 1458 Avg net loss (# pilots) per day june 2018 1.3 july 2018 1.7 aug 2018 2.6 sept 2018 1.5 oct 2018 1.4 nov 2018 1.8 dec 2018 1.2 jan 2019 1.0 feb 2019 0.4 |

This is confusing. With 140 or so aircraft, why so long to upgrade still?
The plan is to bring the E145 fleet up to 126, staffing permitting, while also fully staffing the 25 175’s this year. The E175 staffing is the higher priority. Upgrade for a new hire will likely be very different from the 7+ year waits that people experienced in the past. Upgrade time dropped 2.5 years in the recent bid, and future bids should cause it to drop significantly as well. |
