If our airline was legit, they wouldn't have pilots sign a $24,000 dollar training contract!
What other major airline has you sign a training contract?
Pay the current and new hire pilots accordingly and they will not leave!

They just posted the latest vacancy on flica, "VSA 01-2017."
Projected Training Start Date: November 16, 2016 (Upgrade class)
Projected Effective Date: January 25, 2017 (Upgrade*)
January 1, 2017 (Base Transfers)
4 DEN CAs
3 DEN FOs
13 MCO FOs
Considerably more sluggish than expected, but I'm not too surprised.
Also:
"Projected future vacancies (projected future vacancies are subject to change without notice and not guaranteed):
Next Vacancy: Next vacancy will include both Captain Upgrades and First Officer Positions. The next upgrade class is currently projected to have a December training start and be online in February 2017. Base transfers will have a projected transfer date of February 1st 2017."

Funny. Just flew with a check airmen who claimed latest numbers were 16 upgrades a month. Per their recent meeting. Hear a lot of talk about massive growth and upgrades, but have yet to see it. That's a disappointing vsa indeed. Unless you're a ten year Denver FO. In that case congrats!

That's a hard pill for the new guys/gals to swallow.

They've been talking about huge growth the entire 2+ years I've been here. Where is it going to come from? We can't get any more gates in ORD and our forward thinking leadership decided to let half of F9's gates in DEN fall into Delta's hands. Is there that much excess capacity in MCO?

No they moved the October class to the Airport. You get to work the ramp during flight banks and do GS at the picnic tables when not chucking bags or doing the lav service. When you're line qualified you can work the ramp while on reserve to help pro rate the training contract. It's like a work / release program.
