rumor had it that we aren't able to run new hire classes while we are transitioning to AQP because we no longer have a valid new hire syllabus. Once we complete the certification they'll get the initial training put together and approved. Just something I heard passing through Sim last week, FWIW

It’s got a lot of pilots ****ed off, myself included, but that’s another debate.

Especially the ones who are no longer line holders <---------

Plenty of other airlines are on AQP, I don't recall hearing that anyone had to suspend hiring for a year to get there.

they haven't even started the transition to AQP for the EMB yet. That's in Jan I believe. They don't want to hire because we will be overstaffed again in the fall.

They "may" close SLC-EMB but the Bro will live on up and down the Westcoast for a very long time. My guess is the last one will come off property in about 4-5 years.

I hope not. All us Bro drivers would then not qualify as "Delta dedicated" eligible anymore, and would lose our Delta travel benefits accordingly, grrrr.
