just wondering... how in the world can we get 700 pilots through in a year? Unless they are thinking of other training sites. I was assuming hiring would continue throughout the year with the announcement of hiring more check pilots. Didnt think it would be 700 more new hires though. Damn!

But in the 2004-2006 time frame, with access to multiple training facilities as well as a full compliment of instructors, it was 64 new hires a month.
The hang up will probably be for instructors, hence the opening recently.

However, what a quick turnaround he made once he returned with rational and logical empirical data. No one wanted to listen.
So be it...ignorance can kill many things.

Additional flying / aircraft to be announced in the coming weeks.
This was not an official memo, but someone we talked to today while on our trip.
I'm pretty sure things are moving along a little bit faster on the XJT side, not sure though

I love how the asa guys refuse to admit that we have the better contract and that we should be using it as the base line for negotiation. Go ahead, continue defending that embarrassment of a contract, we'll just keep ours as is for the time being.
I was there when the asa mec walked out. No matter, 2850 votes to your 1700 will make everything clear. And so we're all on the same page, any TA that degrades our quality of life including PBS will get shut down! The financial health of the company is the responsibility of management, not the pilots.

Although saying we have "an embarrassment of a contract" might be a bit extreme...
