From what I was told we will not hire in the dash anymore. Especially as the increased parking schedule

How are current schedules looking like on the jet? Lots of 4 days? Are the destinations interesting or just small local airports?

Also in the 5 December class. FWIW, when I asked during the interview, I was told that "it looks like" all Nov/Dec will be jet, but will have to place a few new hires in the Dash here and there.

I can't imagine that they are done hiring for the dash. Yes they are parking the 100s but we still have 300s that need flown. I do however think 95% of new hires will go to the jet since we're taking 3 jets a month starting in Jan.

Is that how it works? If you are in Dash training right now, can you bid the jet and start as soon as you are done sims?

Yup. Would be nice to know - especially since some of the prerequisite training is airframe specific - but I understand that they cannot 100% guarantee at this point. Also said they just don't have the online training prepared yet for the 145. I'm happy either way - Dash would put me closer to home, but it's looking like not for very long. The lazy SOB in me wants straight into the 145 to prevent potentially going through learning an airframe back to back.

Online training has been completed? Everyone completes CBT before systems... You want the 145, training is much more relaxed. all that automation!

My understanding is that all flying picked up on your days off is paid at 300% that being said, how abundant is the open time flying? Is it pretty much there for the taking if you want to fly on your days off or is it far and few between? Thanks
