Save yourself the frustration and go someplace else. New hire class last week had people leave after day one, or so I was told.
These pilots that are leaving after one day; where are they going? SkyWest, Mesa? Seems odd they would do this-especially with a new TA around the corner.

Well, they had a class of new hires that were told they would be on the 170. Then mgmt changed it to the Q. Almost everyone left. I would guess a new hire would b on the yx 170 side to staff those new jets. Upgrades just got a lot further away due to the chq displacements. Gonna have 7+ yr fo's now. We've had about 80 or more quit since Jan 1. Guys are going where ever they can even outside of aviation altogether.

That makes sense. If people wanted the jet-then got switched to the "Q" when they showed up for class- that would explain them leaving. The Q is a great plane, but it ain't jet time.

That's rather misleading if they were told in the interview process to expect the jet...

^^^I agree with you. If they were told to expect the jet-then found out otherwise-they were probably ****ed-
