It has nothing to do with the COO. You left. You made your decision suck it up buttercup. I don’t want you back either.

I know 2 who left and came back, but both were 20+ years ago when they returned. One retired last year and the other is still going strong.

False. I have personally heard it from him. And don't call in sick on your last tour as he told our whole recurrent he had no problem reaching out to the airline you are going to, to let them know what you did.

Two years from retirement and am looking at still flying. How do retired 121 people do at NJ? How tight are the cockpits? Can you get up and stretch? What are the challenges in the transition? Be gentle. Just looking at getting some questions answered. TIA

Your “cockpit comfort” depends completely on what airplane you get assigned. At the moment, new hires are getting everything except the Large Cabin including the Praetor, CL-350, and Longitude. Quite comfy. But if you’re unlucky, you’ll get the Phenom. If you happen to be “vertically challenged,” it’s survivable. If you’re over 6 feet, you’re SOL.

It’s a COMPLETELY different world than 121. Some things better, other things not so much. Many would recommend golf clubs instead…

Muy buena suerte.

Recent class was all Praetor. Airframe bidding is gone, not that it did much anyway, apparently. Expect a lot of new hires going forward to end up on the Praetor.

Open bids for regular line pilots have already started but only PIC slots. I imagine new hire FOs will be awarded the Ascend within the next month or two. No insider info, just a spitball.
