I don't get it, where are they putting all these new hires plus the 180 pilots coming off the Saabs? Are they that understaffed?

We had 12 resignations last week alone and the "boom" hasn't hit yet. We also dropped down to one of our lowest block hour levels and we are still at line averages approaching 85hrs/mo.

We need pilots.

The "realignment" may work great in the end, but each equip change is a 3 month loss. If nothing else we need to have a "bubble" of excess pilots.

Is that 12 just at Pinnacle or system wide? I would think if they were able to get through the busy summer season then they would be fine until next spring, I guess not. Where are these people going that are leaving?

Thanks! I guess I need to keep harassing training to give me some sort of anticipated training date. I came off medical leave a bit ago and the only answer I get is that training has my info and will be in touch.

I don't think there will be any "new" hire classes on the 200 anymore. With what's listed in the vacancy, all the fo spots will be for the Saab as just about 70% or more (going by asking people in the crewroom) of just the Saab FO's in IAD are bidding for the 200.
