So now that you can't take the ATP written without some form of training (so I hear) will that play a big part in this pilot shortage or will airlines just do the training themselves? Thx

Couple things here, I bid reserve because I live in base. (I can hold a good line with weekends off but I rather not fly and make my 75 hour guarantee. I've flown a total of 13 hours this month.)
I never have to do Ready as I bid CML and I'm the most senior guy.
Also where are people award RS4? I have never seen that awarded or offered in the ORD or IAD bases.

Based on the known and rumored airplanes coming (the latter being a big variable), I'd estimate around 600-700 additional pilots being added over the next 12 months to sustain fleet growth. I don't think growth will really plateau until ~three years from now, but the most substantial growth will be the next year. 12-18 months from now, I think some of the fast upgrades will move on to LCC's, majors, and hopefully legacies. That will keep bringing people over to the left seat expeditiously. I think the real limitation here is pilots; if the shortage comes to fruition, and they can't hire more, they won't be able to make everyone a Captain. This is all conjecture, but I have fun toying around with these forecasts. Take it with a grain of salt.

Also, what mock bid are you referring to? I haven't heard of this.

NO ONE since the Wright brothers has been able to accurately predict this industry for any amount in the future. It is all based on wishful thinking.
Best of luck to us all.

Boy these Skywest guys are trollin hard on the mesa page.
Who would a thought they'd be scouring the regional pages spreading the good word outta Utah. Skywest is a regional chock full with 50 seat jets, brasilias, ASA/Expressjet, lengthy upgrades, regional lifers and beleibers. Skywest guys used to never even bother on this forum but now these guys are everywhere trollin hard. What gives?

Maybe it's an attempt to keep those that are uniformed from going to work for JO at his bottom feeder pay and working conditions?

bases
What is going on these days as far as which bases are new-hires getting? I understand things are topsy-turvy what with ORD closing and DFW opening shortly and CLT closing (?) … but still, what's likely for a new-hire?
How long on reserve?

Why do continually troll the Mesa thread and bad mouth everything about them? You never have a positive contribution to any post. None of your comments add any value to any post in any way. Come back when you have a better attitude and something worth reading.
