January smaller class size is to help get caught up on a bit of a training backlog. LCA resignations have pushed the IOE wait time out and it has taken time to hire new LCAs to cover.

You mean CAs aren’t lined up to be LCAs?

If that’s true then that’s even worse. Another damning case of stepping over dollars to chase pennies.

Why would you wanna be an LCA for only like 10% override??? they are getting shafted. Should be at least 15-20%

From what I understand there were multiple resignations in a short period of time, leaving a bit of a hole. I believe they have been filling the hole in again but it requires training to become a LCA, it's not an instantaneous thing. How much interest there has been for CA to become LCA, I don't know. Probably not as much as there could be if conditions were different, I'll leave it at that.

I know at DL guys with June and July interviews are just hitting classes in the past couple weeks. Not sure at the other majors, but would assume something similar. I hope the resignation letters start piling up again.

I was really surprised when my LCA on IOE told me that. I came from Psa and it was 25% override if I recall. Now look at it!

They also have lost a good amount of flexibility with their schedules. They now have a very small window to adjust their schedules, then they are locked in for the month. 😞

Hey quick question. Anyone know what the online assessments Frontier sends you during the screening process consist of? Anything in particular worth preparing for?
