I seriously don’t understand the hate on people who didn’t have the benefit to be as far along as others when it all hit the fan. Get over yourselves, you’re not a god with a 145 type.

agreed.

Flying left seat at a single engine turbine outfit. Paid for my own ATP-CTP course and completed my written. Pardon the horn tooting..... need some light at the end of the tunnel-ness.

Totally agree!
I think some are forgetting they started out as a low time pilot one day as well and someone trusted them and gave them a chance.
Is a former 121 pilot more qualified than a CFI? Of course but there's no need to look down on someone else like that.
Some of the CFIs who have been waiting for a year now, have gotten laid off as well, so it's not only the compass/ express jet guys.
There is some value in the cadets and applicants with CJOs who have been patiently waiting and have been loyal to OO.

Thank you for saying this. I'm a cfi with a cjo and I have been interested in SkyWest since I started my training in 2014. I sure hope the company brings us back. Don't know why people would hate on a cfi who has busted ass to get hours and get hired.

It's not hating on the CFI or thinking they will take more time or sim rides to pass.
It's the cost of the CTP itself, both in instructor time, and sim time. If OO can bring in 10 pilots without needing to pay for those costs, they are money ahead.
But will they be money ahead in the long run? Chip plays the long game. If he thinks paying for a CFI to go through CTP will have a pilot around for 5 years instead of 3 years those costs are amortized with less training overall.
Anyone here is just speculating on what is going to happen long term. The chips will fall where they do, and no amount of stressing will change that. This whole upheaval is just part of the game, and some will not be cut out for it, while others will thrive in the ups and downs.
new news in an unknown time in the future.

Please take a few moments to read what I posted.

I asked how far back in the pool I would be BEHIND the cfi's.
if I thought I was so mighty with my type rating (in the 170/175) why would I be bootlicking on forums to other regional pilots???
I know CFI's worked hard for that slot because most of us were CFI's. I don't know where you summoned some kinda god complex but take a few steps down pal.

I bet that reference was to a recent youtube influencer...
