No hotel or transportation during training. Most people share an Airbnb or use a Crashpad. I wish it wasn’t this way, but that’s just how it is. Full min guarantee pay and insurance starts the first of the next month. You will have your base by IOE, so as long as you are doing IOE in base, normal rules apply. If they need you to do IOE out of base you’ll get positive space DH and hotels.

With the 5 year plan of 180 airplanes it seems like we have just about hired our most Junior Captain (without an additional AC order). I would imagine we will have a tough time retaining new hires especially with United running a 2ish year upgrade and new hires getting widebody in training. Does anyone know how our attrition numbers are looking?

With the most recent news that we are getting 10 more 321 CEO’s I think the 5 year plan has us closer to 190 a/c. Also there are some (30+?) NEO’s that are on shorter leases than the rest of the fleet. Expect those leases to be extended, bringing us closer to 220 aircraft. All this notwithstanding a new order with an accelerated delivery schedule, your point is valid. But until the company favors raising the 1st year pay, as allowed by the contract, instead of starting a new pipeline/flow/cadet program I don’t think we are hurting.
