Thanks for the info guys, hoping the best for him and all of you, you deserve it!

I think it all depends on what happens as far as attrition.. if legacies and cargo open up hiring as much as expected, than things are going to get cray cray.

Training is still pretty long Im not going to give you false hope on that. That said, I would choose PHL at PDT any day, and I know both companies pretty well 😉

Any updates on the bid? What is the DOH on the most junior E145 CA?

as it's been said there is no wait to upgrade here. #512 of 594 has completed ca training. Im not sure who is jr in school right now. If we don't keep getting guys w prior 121 time street CA are possible if Pdt takes 3 jets a month. Not sure if we stopped at 20 jets to catch up and get ppl line qualifyed prior to the busy months. or if the repo pilots still flying to the eastern shore.

Awac announced they are drawing flying down beginning August. Things are going to be nuts this summer.. have you seen the ca triple premium available for both the dash and 145? Cray cray.. there is going to be a ton of money made this year.. a ton.. if you have 1000 hrs of 121 time and want to be a ca.. i don't know what you are waiting for?!?! This won't last forever.

We took delivery of jet 21 this past week. And there is pressure from the top to grow as fast as possible.

LOL. just read the email about the next jizzet. Maybe I should bypass the flow and just bank 250 hours a month until next year. That horrible 1st year pay cut won't cut so deeply. Plus they are hiring for the next 10 years right?? Nothing bad could ever happen haha.

That's a great idea.. who cares about 2nd year pay or 401k.. or 700 seniority numbers!

Btw I have a bridge in brooklynn to sell you.

I'm looking at very early 2019.. keep my seat warm over there..

Will do! Just crossing my fingers for D.C. Or Philly. I think it goes by age in the class, and by looking at the new hire class photos... might be Getting what no one wants. But a lot can change even some new hires got 75 miami in training.

Who knows right.. I'd be all over that 75.. transfer 75 ny and sit short call all day long..

The good thing about Miami 75 is lack of time zone changes in a trip.
