There are enough guys in the training pipeline with 1000 121 SIC to prevent street captains. The guys hired a year ago will also be upgrading.
I think the biggest problem will be to keep the training program up to speed. With over 1500 pilots on property by this summer needing recurrent, 60 new hires a month, and 30+ upgrades a month, the training department has some serious work to do to be ready for all of this. They are doing the work, but I just hope that they are ready. We need a few more 700 sims!!!

I can't imagine a more expensive place in terms of company expenditures than to send a pilot to Copenhaguen for a few weeks. That's one of the most expensive countries out there.

It might be cheaper to send people there as compared to paying them to sit at home for another couple months waiting for sims.

The Jan 5th class just got our sim schedules... A handful only wait a couple weeks from the end of our ground school to sims and the rest of us are about 3.5 to 4 weeks till our sim. Not even a month wait really. Not too bad!

I have heard they recently promoted 7 people to check airman a few weeks ago so that should have some impact as well.
