I do not think we have lost any flying.
I am going to sit on the over reaction idea for a day or two more and see what develops. If we do not hear anything tomorrow, then we get denial for the weekend

People never stop leaving, they cannot get them to stay around long enough to barley learn the flows. Just a guess

Too bad we weren't all working for Skywest. I heard when they cancel classes or downgrade you, they buy you an Escalade, and as a bonus for graduating in the top 80%, they throw in 22" rims

sorry to hear the news bros. i was at tsa and was one of the ca downgrades when they did it the first time around a few years ago. that sucked hard. when they did it then, we downgraded about 25 of us captains and furloughed 60ish first officers. total dowgraded time was approximately 6 months. no training was required to fly the right seat. if you had taken an fo checkride within the last 12 months, you are good to fly the right seat. you'll be trimming with your left thumb with no success and also forget to set t/o flaps, but you'll get used to it quick. good luck to all.

ps. DO NOT PICK UP OPEN TIME CAPTAINS & FOs. FLY YOUR CONTRACT.

Absolute most important statement in this entire thread. They play the game and now is the time for you to play it too. And by the way why is Gojets still posted on this website, I thought this place was supposed to promote bettering our profession?

i just found out that if you have an undergrad degree with a gpa of 3.0 or better and get a halfway decent score on the lsat you'd have no problem getting into law school.
