The FAA was furious after the LIM debacle and this is the partial fall out from Jetblue's error. Jetblues refusal to design and implement a proper international training course also led to this new and somewhat forced decision.

320 will likely shrink in MCO. 190 will probably stagnate. IF we fly below the red line, it's only to Costa Rica around Xmas, so there's not much flying lost for us.

Thanks. I start class July 16, and MCO is where I would like to be based. I guess it will take quite awhile to get based there. Thank you for the information.

TF,

I don't know that it really matters. The class I'm in runs the gamut from Cape Air folks to retired AF transport pilots, and everything in between. It appears to me that they really do hire for the person, not the numbers. As long as you meet the mins, I'd say your chances are equal with everyone else. YMMV

The FAA was not upset, it was internal forces that drove the decision to have better LA procedures. The FAA doesn't give a damn about our LA procedures, just that we have them.
