As far as whether that’s a good move, unless you’ve got prior experience part 121 and E-170 specifically, I would argue it’s not a good idea to try to train it if you haven’t done it 🤷♂️

I don't think the Regionals are prepared for just how quickly the pilot shortage is going to decimate their CA and training ranks.

I did want to point out that as I expected, we really don't have a base that will be difficult to get for new hires. All of our bases have been awarded to someone 6/22/21 or newer.
Reserve times *right now* are functionally non-existent since we're still so short.
This *will* change as we hire more people, but for those hiring on right now at the beginning of this wave, it'll be a short time to holding a line.

commutable base from Dallas
Hey folks! Republic is pretty high on my list and was wondering what are the commute friendly bases from Dallas? My highest preference is DCA as I have folks who live there. Is DCA pretty Jr? How are the bids roughly for jr FOs last and this month for DCA?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
