No slots for transition initial courses.
This is why a lot of us transitioned during the pandemic.
Gotta play the long game!

Got 240 people on the pipeline. We also have Captains leaving and going to ULCC and Legacys which doesn’t help. People leaving in training to go to a AAWO or somewhere else. Which btw is this industry making a lateral move is a no no. Doesn’t look good on a resume…
G7 gave up about 1200 ours of flying back to United.
Other airlines have given back too. It’s not just G7.
It’s EVERYONE.
It definitely is a wake up call to managment. I’m sure they’re ready to talk to the union and talk contracts.
3 out 4 of United Aviate airlines are bleeding. I’m sure it’s known at United and they’re trying to come up with a game plan. Because the Aviate program still isn’t enough to attracted people to come and go else where. Americans new $180K retention bonus. Delta now having a flow through with Endeavor. The Aviate program is still a interview process just liked the street interview and people still aren’t getting in? So why stay at C5, G7, or Air Whiskey when you can go to a AAWO and guaranteed spot at AA in 7+ years. It’s a safety net and people like that.

Wasn’t a. Letter sent out yesterday?
If I read a letter like yesterday I would be NOT accepting any CJO and would be actively looking somewhere else even in class. The airline is swirling around the drain will be 3 for 3 by the end of the year.

I commute from Houston. Honestly it has been that bad to and from Chicago… just started EWR. Again haven’t had an issue yet. Waiting for the day I’m trying to fight the jumpseat with a ComodeAir guy.

Living in Newark area and suggestions ...
Hi all
As you can see, I'm an absolute newbie to the APC forum. I've taken up a role with G7 and have been assigned EWR as a domicile. My question centres around " where do most of the G7 pilots live ? " or to be precise, " Where is a good safe location to live ? ". I'll be stuck there for at least 12 months until I can transfer out of there to ORD or STL, so may as well make the most of it and get the research done and choose wisely. Noting like being over prepared and over researched. I was thinking South Jersey, around the Middletown area for eg. Train line to EWR, relativly safe, 30 mins from the airport.
Any information is most appreciated. Open to all Newark suggestions and comments.
Thanks so much.
