Lol. du-dun-tss

Any plane would be easy to fly in the manner that guy did, he was just yoking the plane around until it ran out of gas...and if I remember correctly the bleeds were also 100 percent auto on the jet so ole boy wouldn’t have asked how to pressurize the cabin mid joy ride if it was an ejet..

For those wondering about newhire FO awards.
5 Q FOs were awarded SEA with a DOH 6/18/18.
1 PDX Q FO went to a DOH 6/11/18
1 GEG Q FO with DOH 4/16/18
1 BOI Q FO with a DOG 4/16/18
The rest are initially awarded MFR. If you meet 121 upgrade mins, you can most likely hold SEA or PDX Q CA. I think MFR CA has gone way more senior than expected! The most junior MFR CA is a December 17 hire.

If you come to Seattle plan on being on reserve for a while. The lines have been dropping every month.

Besides fewer opportunities to upgrade, what does this mean for Q FOs? Is there stagnation that will keep junior Q FOs on reserve longer, etc? Or is there movement with FOs leaving for greener pastures at LCCs and legacies?

I’m kinda regretting not picking the jet. I could easily hold a line now, sept has like 23 lines with 28 for reserve for the q.

Does anyone have an estimate on class dates for new hires? I am dropping an app after my commercial check this month and was wondering for future planning. Apparently, Compass is all filled for 2018 and if Horizon is in the same boat I gotta figure out some things.

Spoke with two QX recruiters about this. Sounds like 2018 is full. Working on early 2019. Also, becoming more selective with apps.

Hope this helps.
