Ditto on the Strongbag. I've had it for 6-7 years and never a problem. If you overstuff it, it can get tight in the 200 but will still fit. Also, you should never have to buy a new bag again, as everything on it is replaceable, even the skin. The zippers are pretty industrial, as I should have lost a couple buy now, but they have all stayed intact. Good bag and a pretty fair price.

 

Which model is this, if you don't mind me asking? I'm trying to narrow down which one I want at the moment.... Assortment of pocket options, but I don't want those hanging up in the bin either.

Copy, thanks.

 

Congrats to the FO's that were awarded upgrade today and will start class in a couple weeks. There are just a few more 2014 hires and by the end of April, we should start putting 2015 FO's into upgrade class.

There are less than 200 FO's on the list that were hired in 2015. If we keep upgrading 25 per month, we will be just about done with the 2015 hires by end of this year (if not sooner with attrition).

Also, per management this week, the first of the 700's should be coming over in early April (about 3 weeks from now). Can anyone confirm this?

 

If they said this it's probably correct. Dunno why they would lie.

 

I got my travel info late last night for the interview next week! Very excited.

I am disappointed that PSA does not provide a hotel. Instead, I asked "H" in the email if I could fly in and out on the same day. Since there is a flight that will get me to CLT early enough in the morning, she said yes. So, I will fly in, do the interview, and fly out on the same day.

I had never seen the Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot book before. I am reading through it, but am a bit overwhelmed. It is full of good information, but not sure how anyone could memorize all of it. I guess it is a reference book, so no one really does memorize all of it.

I studied the gouges, got the Shepperd Air interview prep, and found some really good videos on the Jeppesen website that teaches you all about Jepp charts for free. (Not the 10+ year old video that is on YouTube, but a new set of videos).

 

If this is your first turbine aircraft, consider looking at the "Turbine Pilots Handbook", if you have access to it. It will help prepare you for class. It is fairly generic, but a good study tool.

 

Yes, management told our new hire class the same thing this week. He also said that current class sizes should permit the planned 1 aircraft per month transfers. He added that current hiring is slightly ahead of the staffing needs for 1/month, but that there weren't plans to accelerate that schedule should hiring slow for any reason.

 

Nearly every day in is critical in one of the bases due to lack of reserves... how are we ahead of staffing?
