How many are showing up to class now a days? Heard its drying up a bit.

I hate desks

I believe the company slowed it a bit to stop the backlog of sim sessions. Still around 20 a class.

We are still forcing upgrades. Some classes have around 5 forced upgrades and others have none. There would probably be more, but there are quite of few FOs submitting bids just to avoid being forced into a base they don’t want to end up in.

Still hiring but I’m not in the training department so I’m not sure about specifics.

The last seniority list showed 2073 total pilots so we should be above 2100 when the February or March lists come out.

We are definitely overstaffed. SAPping down is a factor but it doesn’t account for everything. We’re close to 50% of pilots on reserve. I rarely hear of anyone flying more than 20 hours a month on reserve. Id say most common is 5-10 hours. Ive even heard of some going 2 months without a call and talked to one guy that had to do landing currency in the sim. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are several others out there in that situation. When I started 5 years ago we were in a frenzy because of all the growth, but they still staffed all of the flying without any trouble. I averaged 40-50 hours on reserve then. SAP is a factor, but that doesn’t explain why reserves are averaging 10 hours or less a month now.

I wish I only flew 20 hours a month of reserve. I've flown 40-50 hours every month on reserve since OE in sept. CA reserve is abusive in CLT. At 25 hours this month already with a few cancellations.
