Looks like they are hiring instructors, even though the transition is almost finished and they are saying no pilot hiring for the foreseeable future. Rumor is a mass exodus from the training department is about to happen because they are being told no more hotels rental cars or per diem and they have to move to base (SFB or LAS). For those who don't know, instructors here have been informally treated like a TDY base.
Not that I think instructors deserve perks the line pilots don't get just because they chose to serve in the training department. The point is why are they suddenly cutting everyone's perks in the last year. First VBD losing rental cars and long stay hotels, then line pilots having to take bottom shelf Lyft everywhere instead of LL/rental cars, now IPs losing travel options. One would think that TRAVEL is a cheap perk of working for a TRAVEL COMPANY. Being handed a hotel room and rental car to conduct company business was one of the great perks of working here versus a real airline.
Is this typical corporate greed or is something happening behind the scenes? Why are they continuing to tighten the belt and run this place like a company on the verge of bankruptcy when they continue to post impressive profits? Something just doesn't add up.
