I think this isn’t an issue right now, but it could be in the future. Probably about 8 years minimum to become a CKA. Instructors around 4-5 years.

Which would likely head to Envoy if 175s.

I’m willing to bet they’ll go to whoever can staff them. But yea, if AA is buying them I’m sure they’ll go to Envoy. Unless BB knew there would be room in scope with the purchase of these XLRs and that’s where some of our “growth” is coming from.

Just testing out my new tinfoil hat.

There’s actually 3 classes of CKA in the pipeline right now.

I know of one CKA who has only been at the company for maybe 5-6 years at the most. And he’s been a CKA for at least the last 6 months.

Just like the new United 175s went to an airline that could staff them, right? XJT was cancelling multiple flights per day, and still is, while we have a surplus of pilots. 😏

They’re gonna go to whoever is the CHEAPEST. Which is not us.

Unreliable, bottom-feeder airline. What more can I say? 😁

That sums it up. I’m still convinced UA will realize that was a mistake, due to the amount of cancelled flights and unhappy customers after this summer. XJT doesn’t have the aircraft for the flying they got OR the staffing to even operate their current fleet, let alone new aircraft. Cost savings for UA? Highly doubt it ends up that way

For the most part yes of course, that is the whole point of taking advantage of B-scale ops. However Delta still seems to like performance. Getting rid of compass and gojet proves this. Happy customers means more revenue and their profits reflect this. Unfortunately this is the exact reason why will never be taken out of the NE area
