Yes we have attrition and will continue to do so while legacies hire. Someone else can give you better numbers but I've moved up around 30 people in last quarter.

From what I hear the rooms are very small, only one communal kitchen facility per floor, and no guests allowed (forget about bringing spouse/gf to visit). It is one thing to be stuck here for a short recurrent stay, but to spend 5-6 weeks here as a newhire would be a bit painful in my opinion...
There's no way that rumor about the no visitors is true.

Staybridge was great. Full kitchen, BBQ, etc. drove you to Walmart to stock up on supplies. I cooked five weeks worth of meals from raw ingredients, froze them, and popped them in microwave. Yeah, I can cook. Don't let that get out. Even went to BBQ college here in TX- four days of grillin and chillin.

Company password expired while on a commute/day off. No warning via email. Just -smash- no email, access to Hello JB, etc. still have FLICA. Can someone PM me with suggestion to fix? Tried sending personal email to IT/CP office but it bounced as "restricted." So I can't access it to tell people I can't access it.

Straight from the source... I wish it wasn't true.

Staybridge is a great place for long term training, but I think it is just for newhires. I tried to get them to put me there when I was down for long term, but they said it was full.

Yes, losing junior guys (1-3yrs longevity mostly) to legacies. Lost about 100 guys in 2014 total, probably the same for 2015. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a lot for a group of 3000 pilots.

Is it safe to assume if and when the window re-opens ~march that applicants from that window can expect ~summer interviews with fall class dates? Thanks.

I'd say that would be the earliest to expect a class. I think our current poolies should cover the classes til late summer-early fall, but that's just my WAG and it could be different.
