As far as I know they have had the max they can bring in of 26 every month ad everyone is showing. We should achieve our next critical milestone of 725 pilots on property by end of year.. very exciting stuff.

)However, for the delay AFTER start date and before training starts - full pay, full travel benefits, 0 on 30 off line - I don't understand why someone would complain about that
Maybe for a senior citizen where every day not flying was a huge percentage of total time available before 65

For many of us (military guys) it works out really well. We put up our separation date and leave the day before training starts.

That being said our training department will soon be able to handle much more.
Wow, sounds amazing....
