Ok, thanks.

I think it's only because they are having an open house mid Oct.

I don't see upgrades slowing down either....as long as there are new pilots coming through the door. Even without any more airplanes, we are very understaffed for both captains and first officers.

There are more FO's in IAH this month then CA's.

They can't upgrade some of the FOs?

If they don’t solve the Ejet CA shortage problem, more CA’s are going to interview and walk out the door. 15 upgrades last month didn’t do the trick - we only netted one more CA.

We have a bunch of FO’s with standing bids and the qualifications just waiting to get the upgrade class. They need to upgrade 20 or 25 next month. Having FO’s on reserve doesn’t do any good if they have to beg CA’s to fly.

Default No 300% Opentime

Just FYI... The company has not extended 300% pay for opentime picked up beyond October 17th.

Reason: If you pick up the opentime in ANTICIPATION of the company extending the timeline for 300% pay, have fun flying on your days off at regular pay! They won’t extend 300% if there are idiots who’ll pick it up for regular pay. QUIT BENDING OVER!!!

Default Mesa Signing Bonus Lie

Have the new hire FO’s figured out that they’ll NEVER get the last $20,000 of the bonus?

If you pick up in anticipation of it becoming 300%, then there’s no point to making it 300%. Be smart people. Too many guys I’ve met doing just that.
