Anyone have an idea how long it will take for a new hire FO to be assigned a class date?

I’d guess 4 months maybe less if you’re lucky

Well what I’m hoping is they just move the ORF base to RIC, and flip the BDL base over to PHX and run the pairings backwards. No reason to have ORF, BDL, and PVD all as bases. And PHX would be somewhat commutable on own metal

Just discovered that A220 direct entry captains has opened up again. What is the most Junior base? With the expected growth, how long would it be to have a line at any base? What about TPA, which I guess is the most senior base?

Any talks about opening new bases? International destinations? How fast are the A220 deliveries coming along?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently we’re still short on A220 Captains, mix of attrition and just not very good planning. Yes international flying is planned for the near future. And they want to go ETOPs for the longer international stuff.

so 4 months to receive a class date? and then training is booked out about 4 months? So we're talking about 8 months until starting training?

Before you apply

It’s just a dysfunctional mess honestly. At least a 10% turnover in pilots and the head of people just resigned after only seven months. You need a steel constitution to Be the Breeze. They will lie to you and continue to do so every week. Those core values are not practiced at all.

Anyway I'll still go turn up to work on Monday 🤪
