Pretty sure that's 100 who didn't have the time, not 100 bypassing.

So your nearly hiring street captains at this point? If it's 8 months after new hire that persons really only flew the line 6 months at best... about right?

There are still a good amount of qualified pilots who are bypassing due to holidays and other personal situations. From a reliable source, there are 200+ eligible pilots on property for upgrade.

That makes sense. That's about enough eligible FOs to cover the balance of the first 30 900s, and the first 20 of the transferring 700s, assuming no attrition. Best guesses seem to be that we're loosing 10 a month?

Seems about right. I went up around 40 numbers in 3 months.

Plenty in my class from comair/gojet, some were captains. Im just not sure what you mean by "the line". Yes, 6 months at psa, but years at other airlines. Either way, you need 1000 sic 121 at the very least.
