Encompass hired about 15 new hire FOs in the last few months. The issue they’re having is the high turnover rate with captains, not FOs. From what I’ve heard from other pilots they’re planning on having a captain class very soon. They most likely won’t be hiring any FOs for months to come. Good luck!

Yeah we are flush with FO’s right now. If you say that there should be 4 captains per plane then NorCal, SBA each have 1 CA slot open. MYF is currently flying 2 planes with 3 captains, but they are only supposed to have 1 plane there. SoCal on the other hand is decimated at the moment and has 9 CA slots open. Even if you were to say staffing should only be 3 captains per plane (AM slot, PM slot, & off/reserve per day) then SoCal still has 6 open CA slots at the moment. This all could change tomorrow of course.
