Does KA have a mullet from the 90s?? Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else

92 pilots listed as furloughed who were in some level of training (with employee numbers) before this mess began. We don’t need a hiring pool.

Looks like about 100 more 4 day pairings in DFW for September compared to this month. Glad to see that.

Yeah, from what I can see on FT web daily DFW departures went from the low 60’s to mid 70’s. And some interesting new routes. DFW-PSP 3 times a day.

Agreed its giving false hope. When hiring picks up theyll have plenty to choose from.

So, looking at total days to work, aka 4 + 3 + 2 day trips in PBS, not total hours. It looks like a 37.5% increase in flying in DFW. Not bad at all. Wonder what PHX is like.

IAH not looking half bad either. Most lines are 17-20hrs. I even saw a 26hr 4 day. A lot of Mexico flights are back. Plenty Overnights in FL. Including a FLL and MIA, and a few JAX, ECP, PNS, RSW, and TPA

Just to update all of the applicants. The Union has currently put up an amendment to the current contract to lower the minimum guarantee of flying from 76 hours to 68 hours from Oct to Dec. there are a lot more details, but that’s the big ticket item. Company announced to the pilot group that they will be furloughing approx 490 pilots if they do not approve this concession in the contract. The voting will close 21st Sept. Stay tuned for the results. Hope everyone is doing well and keep your chins up. Flying will be back in the next few years. Even if you don’t fly for 2 years, regionals will still take you in. The pilot shortage is here to stay. Mesa has plenty of pilots that went to Envoy, Skywest, TSA and failed out of simulator training after having not flown in several years. Those pilots came over to Mesa and made it through training with some help and good sim partners. Don’t be discouraged, your time to fly will come.
