Pay I've heard is FO pay during training then CA pay after passing your check ride. Haven't heard how long DEC CA training but I would imagine at least as long as FO, maybe (hopefully) longer and more thorough. So you're looking at at least 6 weeks of Indoc, systems, and IPTs. Then 2 weeks of Sims then 2 days of differences ground then 2 days of differences sims. With the temporary halt of FO training you can expect to go straight through with absolute minimal time between modules.

Junior bases are Knoxville and Dayton with Dayton being slightly more junior but I tends to swing back and forth. F we open a new base (Nashville is the most often mentioned rumor), it will likely go most junior. The earliest we an expect to see that though is late fall.

Oh great. It's another useless PSA thread that will get bombarded with certain hate.

Pay is FO pay until check ride with 24/7 per diem. The training footprint is estimated at 13 weeks, but that is fluid. I was told DEC's could hold any base, just depends on how long you want to be on reserve.

I don't see DEC's holding Charlotte for a long time. Too many prior 121 people still in the pipeline plus in a couple of months you'll start having the wave of early new hires hitting their thousand hours. The vast majority of these senior people will take all the CLT spots available keeping street captains out.

They will be able to hold CLT because the company will continue to run captain vacancies of 25 pilots knowing that they will never be able to fulfill that with our FOs

As much as we keep saying we are in complete need of captains, the last vacancy was only 10. Down from the usual 16. So I'm kinda curious how badly we are needing them now. The slower 700 transfer was a huge help and it's barely been a month since that announcement.

Do y'all have a vacancy that is open right now? If so, when does that one close?
