I feel like if I type all of the questions I have about training and what to expect this post would be really lengthy. I've accepted a training date, but have no idea what the schedule looks like, how the process is broken down, when breaks take place, how many days a week, weekends off?, does a workout schedule fit into this. If anyone who is current on training or knows the process. Would it be possible for someone to pm a phone number so I can run some questions by you? I'd really appreciate it. It might take 10 minutes.

I'm not expecting a new base announcement until at least spring/summer '18. My guess would be an exact number of e145s coming on board/pay raises and retention bonuses

Either way I see no bad news.. I heard apparently the 3 wholly owns are outperforming the other contract carriers. Apparently the Phoenix and LA regional lift is in bad shape.
We have a new VP with Kenji out. I wasn't a fan of him since I think he was out of his element and his new role in finance better suits him. We will see what the new guy brings to the table.

I wouldn't be shocked if they announced a new CA bonus. Surprisingly we have many FOs not wanting to upgrade due to the current FO bonus and CA QOL life being so bad.
How many CAs is PDT loosing per month? ENY is probably 3-4 per month this year without flowing from the flow.

That would be great news but I wouldn't consider that as "big announcement" coming in sept if any.
Maybe new scheduling system?
