Saw an union email that said 8 two weeks ago but I hear it was 14. Problem is no one knows for sure and it would be nice if we were given new hire numbers along with resignation numbers each month.

You're entitled to your opinion but that doesnt make you right. As I am also entitled to have my own opinion, except I have one thing going for me,my opinion carries with it actual experience. Your ignorance and individual greed is what ruined this industry. 200 guys would make quality of life for me better in the short-term, in the long term for the pilot group we would then forfeit any sliver of bargaining power we still possess. I hope for your sake you show up to class with six other people, you all cash your bonus check and think, gee-whiz this place is awesome, three of you make it through to the line, and you're the last one hired for a year-and-a-half, and then I want you to tell me how wrong I am about this place.

Lol individual greed.

Sorry, my point was opposed to collective greed of a group.

Thank you! People like pitchtrim will try to sell obvious recruiter bullsh-t lies to people just because it helps him gain seniority. Why not just tell people the truth and let them decide for themselves? Pilots lying to pilots to help recruiters is some pretty foul stuff. But sure, tell us more about those 18 month upgrades pitchtrim

I need seniority? I get the schedules I want. I base my assessments off facts instead of emotions.

So the real question is, how many letters are going to drop in a couple weeks afer this final bonus? Are you still going to be + net gain of pilots? I would imagine CPs are going to be getting a lot of emails.

I was at AWAC for 4 years (been gone 1 year now). Overall I can’t complain and definitely had a good time, but this 18-24 talk is ridiculous. If this place were growing then certainly, but even with larger class sizes not everyone makes it through and you still have lots of people moving on (relatively speaking).

A very good friend of mine is between 40 and 50 on the seniority list. He says only 3 people above him have signed up to receive the Hogan test... who knows how many of the top 50% of CAs are at all interested. Seeing that the company is now back in the Midwest (wtf was this when I was there 🙄 lol) I wouldn’t be surprised if even more stay put.

I was about 25 away when I left last Oct. Now I have no idea how many may have left above me, but I don’t know if I even would have gotten upgrade on this latest award. I would have just hit 5 years 🤷*♂️

I counted 22 Appleton new hires hitting the line in November with another 20-22 very fresh new hires being awarded something as well. Maybe 40 fo's give their letter after this next bonus, but I doubt it. 11 did this past resignation list.

Hitting the line in November. Does that mean they start OE in November and havent taken their checkride yet?

That I don't know. The one group of 20 may still be wrapping up checkrides and the other group of 20-22 must have finished is my guess.
