Our own airline profile says they have 307 pilots on hand which I think was true a couple of years ago, so they are now at only 22% of that former number (70)? That's something. I would not have guessed that many people jumped ship. At that rate you have to wonder how they still exist.

I was thinking they would fold before he wants out. he only has 700 total time is probably the main reason he went there. Should be interesting to see how commuting from dfw to den for 1500 a month (if hes lucky) with a new wife and kid on the way will take its toll. Ill keep you posted.

Some people have said they reduced the b1900s to 9 seats. Without combing through the regs, I can't for the life of me figure out why they would do this? Not that it matters, they are never full anyway. But i used to fly 19 seat aircraft on part 135 unscheduled ops. Maybe it's the fact that they are scheduled ops?
The only other thing would be for the autopilot in lieu of SIC OPSPEC, but since they don't have autopilots, that can't be it.
