All of the 5 companies I have worked for have downgraded pilots when the had too many captains.
Downgrading people would work about as well as it did at TSA or Go Jet. It would push people out the door faster. Exacerbating the problem. Companies that people want to work for can pull that crap. F9 is not one of those companies.

Bump to ask if the training contract is still around for future new hires. Hard to find current official info. Thanks

It is. Haven't heard anything that would say its going anyway either. Would love to know if our union is working on getting rid of it like other airlines have.

Ah, alright. Good to know. Don't wanna pay mine out just to sign another one. Collecting training contracts isn't my idea of fun lol. Looks like I'm better off canceling my interview and saving the drive down.

Thanks for your reply.

Depending on where you are... Idk if I would cancel an interview over a training contract. Where are you currently? regional? 135?

Is spending possibly 3 years at a major really THAT bad? What if you get stuck here forever, would it be better than where you are currently?

That is really good advice. Mabe you can move this to a new F9 recruiting thread. If attrition continues to spike, staffing the fleet will require a team effort from mgmt and pilots alike.

You are right, I am sorry Antler.

Do not come here.

We can put this right next to our "higher total compensation" "better base options" "fast seniority" (because we lose 30 a month), and "be green"

my mistake

I'm at OO currently, living in an outstation where their UAX service is the only option. That makes the family situation work pretty well. Not that it wouldn't at F9, but it'd take a while to get back there, and I'd never overnight at home again. I dunno. Feels dumb to even make the comparison but having to pay out $80k really weighs down the decision.
