Today's Vacancy bid was awarded, and the junior captain has 2 years and 1 month of seniority. Pretty amazing.

Both Orlando and Chicago captain spots have gone to people with well under 3 years of seniority

There has been talk of one for a year or so, but I don't know of anyone having to sign one.

I had heard they would threaten one in the interview, and anyone who asked about it got a big red mark. So if anyone out there interviews soon, DON'T ASK ABOUT A TRAINING CONTRACT. But we never signed anything.

A jumpseating CA yesterday said he had heard new guys are being told 1 year upgrades. I doubt it, but it's good people are confident with the growth.

One year upgrade, huh? That seems a bit optimistic to me. Although we sure do have a lot of senior FOs who bypass upgrade. At least 100 FOs have bypassed upgrade.

I think the upgrade will continue to be around the 2 year mark for the foreseeable future.

Hi guys, can anyone better informed than me confirm/correct these class sizes?

NOV: 7
DEC: 12
JAN: (projected 7)
FEB: (projected 14)
MAR: (Back to big classes)

Also heard one of our sims in DEN was broken, did this get fixed?

And Howabout the non-typed FO's... Are we all caught up? If not, how many lucky ones are we talking?

Thanks!

I wonder how many guys will continue to bypass with the feeling that A merger with Spirit just might happen sooner than we think

Those numbers sound about right. I flew with a training dept guy recently, and he said basically what you've got there. I haven't heard anything about the SIM.

I believe all of the FOs are typed now... Finally.

200+ new hires in 2016 and every year going forward.

If we do merge, be on notice NK! We will NEVER EVER say "spirit wings" on the radio, EVER! We WILL have alpha wolves and lions and other stuff with sharp teeth on our tails, and ok maybe a few cute birdies here and there, but NEVER the words "bare fares" You will assimilate, resistance is futile. hahaha.

Hey I'm only kidding around. I hope a merger between us never happens to be honest. Seems like pilots never win in these collisions.
