Not necessarily. I was expecting it to be pretty bad. My hands were tied since I needed a DEC spot. I would have never come here as a FO.

One week in INDOC. 10 week wait. Three weeks in Ground Systems. 6 weeks to sims.

$2982 per month gross is what you can count on while in the training department twilight zone of despair. The first four weeks off are cool. Then it gets old... very old...

Due to the number of LCAs FOs have been waiting around five weeks after getting the rating for the first OE trips recently.

Looks like it will be every bit of 10 months from start to the line. One must financially plan accordingly if you take this route.

For your own sakes, stop putting out identifying information about yourself on here.

Anyone who says “we’ll be staffed in X months” hasn’t been around here very long

If we stay at the current number of airframes, eventually the training department will catch up, I would think.

Except attrition is really increasing and new hires are decreasing.

New hires decreasing should really help them get the lesser numbers through...

Instructors flying the line won’t help. So it’s probably a wash even with less new hires.

Oh man... you haven't been here a while... I've been hearing that we're almost fully staffed since day 1 on the dash...

We are currently running less than 8 pilots per aircraft... we are no where near fully staffed.... and yet we still have people who work for just prm or 2x....

Back to my sh!tty hotel.
