Agreed. 2 bedrooms is just fine, but the other arrangement means the other person may need a glass of milk or a hot picket in the middle of the night lol. Not cool but it is what it is

The recruiting department is very data driven and tries to understand why people are not joining OO who have an offer. Double occupancy doesn’t even make the list.

They don't understand why people are not joining OO?? What are you on? Do you even realize how many pilots we are hiring every month? They don't have to understand why they aren't coming here, because they are coming here.

OK - let’s make sure you read this slowly - one step at a time:

- plenty of people are joining OO
- but not all that have an offer come to OO - yes - shocking I know
- of those that decide to go elsewhere for whatever reason, none made that decision because of double occupancy.
- recruiting collects this data and has concluded that double occupancy is not a show stopper

They’re also leaving here or not making it to the line in record numbers, why?

I can tell you the training rate failure % hasn’t changed from historical numbers. The amount numerically is up do to more people going through training. But also a lot of military guys come for 3 months then get on a Major... hard to tell on the attrition report and not everyone is on Facebook posting there life after SkyWest.. Go look in the Envoy topics. The have similar high numbers of people leaving under the 1.5 years service mark..

Maybe you should talk with your boss about the training failure percentage, it's been slowly increasing (percentage wise) for the last 5 years, which he said means the department is doing exactly what it needs to. He said it rather proudly and a bit of smug.

When you take in that the bulk of systems training is with CBT's and thus self taught, all the less than a year FO's teaching class, brand new sim instructors-well? The simple correlation is there and the industry, the employment pool, and the feds are taking notice. Anybody that has been in the training department for more than 10 years will tell you the same thing.



There's a chance that the budget drive is now in the left seat?

Note: this message will be sharply met with harsh words and denial from amcnd and Skyhawk121, their word is final, thanks.
