as one of the sent-home-from-training guys, I really hope this holds true. 🤞🏼

 

Still doing part-time/VTO/CPTO so doubt that anyone will be finishing up until spring.

 

I kinda doubt that about hiring legacy guys. In past downturns OO has had no problem hiring from that group. Also if OO gets a reputation for not hiring furloughed pilots from certain airlines, it is reasonable to expect that to be reciprocated once hiring resumes at the legacies. FWIW line pilots are involved in the interview process at every major.

as an example I have heard back in post 9/11 days comair had a policy of requiring furloughed Delta pilots to rescind their seniority number to get hired, this position was supported by the pilots union. ASA did not have this requirement. When DL resumed hiring plenty of ASA folks got hired while not too many from comair got the call.

also this time around a huge number of furloughed pilots will have a type rating in either the 170 or CRJ. They will be a very low training risk

 

Agreed. Needs to come down from 140% of block hours to 100%. Not sure where all those pilots will go. And with a second wave just beginning on top of the first, we will now see the true dominos start to fall.

 

Did you ever consider the fact that he might be messing with you?

Here are some other rumors over the past several weeks.
- Big layoffs at HQs. Mostly out of recruiting and HR.
- Buying a whole bunch of CRJs as another regional is going out of business..

As far as not hiring Legacy pilots.. that certainly wasn't the case the last time around. New hire average flight times went way up. Plenty of turbine time and type ratings in the new hire classes. I was flying with a lot of pilots that had a lot more PIC turbine time than I did.

 

 

Was this the same check airman that somebody posted on here 3 months ago said that hiring would begin again by October 2020? GTFOOH

 

Compass-quality work.

 

There is a reason I said I wasn’t sure of the accuracy of it all 😜

Edit:
I also dunno what was said 3 months ago on here, I’m not an APC lifer lol

 

Remembering a post from 3 months ago is funny for you? Is taking interest in your career and advancement make you an "APC lifer" (whatever that is)? If so call me an APC lifer then. Despite all the crap on these boards (your post being a perfect example) there is a lot of good information posted which has helped me out since I was a naive student pilot.
