A CFI that I work with is in the June class for the 175, non prior 121.

 

I can believe this could be a fluid situation with a new aircraft with new Captains. I questioned the wisdom of manning a new airplane, with new Captains and new FO's. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Feds require this six month period.

Maybe all those with classes haven't been notified yet.

 

I'm in the first new EJET class which starts next week. We were supposed to have our class start on the 12th, but they moved us to the 14th. Haven't heard anything to suggest that we're going to be doing anything other than EJET training.

A lot of guys in class would be pretty annoyed at anything else as many have held out for the EJET for the IAH base.

 

You're an upgrade or newhire?

 

New hire........

 

Oooooo shiny :-)

 

Or alternatively 'Ooh the chance to be based at home with my wife and new born daughter with a growing airline'

 

If this is true there's going to be a whole lot of upset people who were holding out for IAH. I'm putting this in the rumor/gossip category unless someone confirms it.

 

This^ smart move

 

I suspect 121.438 is in play here.
