Upgrades for March
Did anyone get passed over for upgrade in March on the Ejet that bid for it? The number of upgrades is the lowest I have ever seen it.
They put out a bid for 20 and only took 2 for upgrade. What is up with that? I am struggling to believe that only 2 qualified FO’s bid.

I also know the talented FO’s are being sucked out. One guy just went to Atlas.
In the past, there have been FO’s that received a CA award that I would never recommend, yet someone decides to recommend them. To the training departments’ credit, many of those FO’s do seem to come back to the line as FO’s and not as CA’s. However, getting a recommendation doesn’t appear to be a stumbling block.

There is no way the IAH crew room (which I’ve never seen) is worse than IAD. It’s too small the fake leather on the recliners is peeling, window blinds are missing fridge is too small. It’s really a slum. If the 700s get extended it need to be addressed.
