The training dept has been told to prepare for big hiring next year. Frontier deferred some aircraft orders from this year to next, so 2021 will have a lot of new aircraft. I'm not sure how many passengers we will have to fly on those aircraft, but we will have the planes

How about a LOA to allow < 70/60 credit if you give the trips to COLA-0 guys?

Not a bad idea. I’m Still trying to figure out why the company doesn’t want to offer split reserve lines? It’s pretty much cost neutral now.

I am not buying this (yet) either but it would explain why we need new check airmen and sim instructors. Same rumor re hiring came from the CPO.. We shall see, I’ll take the happy rumors

Gotta also remember who we work for. There will be opportunities next year for those savvy enough to take advantage.

We’re hiring check airmen because they are expecting a big hiring wave to come I think they were saying starting March. We have something around 20 planes coming next year due to the deferrals from this year. So it makes sense to go from furloughing to a huge hiring wave. Those guys aren’t really furloughed so it makes it easy to run thin and save money than bounce back almost instantly.

Some good news! No displacements/system bid for pilots returning from Cola-35 and no additional Cola-35’s to be offered for December due to an increase in block hours.

Thats good news!
But if they are short on captains why force the Cola 35's back? Why not move the downgraded ones back to the left seat, and bringing back the right seat furloughs?
