I haven’t heard this . You’re saying Mgt is taking pilots off the schedule to call them in for a meeting due to sick calls ?

I regularly fly with reserve FOs that haven’t flown for 2 to 3 weeks and even been trying to pick up trips. One FO had till end of this month to get his 100 hours consolidation. He was able to on our trip.

On the other hand - if you’re a reserve Captain you’ve been a rented mule lately. (Pretty busy)

Also for you guys not getting any communication from HR. I understand your frustration. Once here though I’ve always had prompt reply’s for all my emails to payroll, benefits, crew scheduling etc.

Thanks, Aero1900.
As Powderkeg said earlier, (minus Independence Day scenario, lol), maybe the "Big Announcement" details still haven't all been worked out, and the suspense will be well worth it.

Personally i would continue applying to other airlines, if you haven't been already.
Dec seems far away, lot of people think it will be way before Dec, however not officially.
Just be prepared to have like a one week notice for a class in Sept, would not surprise anyone here if they did that.
I was told December and IF an earlier class became available then I could expect 2-4 weeks notice. Who knows if that will hold up. I hope so. I already gave my employer my notice once. They very kindly gave me my job back when class was cancelled. I’d like to give them at least 4 weeks notice the second time around.

This is a new rumor to me.

I don't think there are that many 320s around. Ive heard United is taking some junky ones from China, and AA is taking our old 319s.

I don't think they will find anything, but that was what was mentioned at RGS. Personally i would not think anything of it. Goal is too keep the cost down, and NEOs are the way to go

Just received an canned email from the VP of Flight Ops. Stated they still plan on resuming classes in December. That was the first update I’ve received in several weeks.

Sounds like only 20 pilots in the class for December, followed by roughly 30 per month through March. Not quite the 45 per month they originally ran.

Got the same email update as well. My employer requires a 3 month notice. 2-4 weeks is definitely having to burn that bridge down..
