I just hope the bean counters also took into account the cost of sims and instructors for all of these recurrent sims they’re gonna have to run in the next couple months on top of our pay.

But yes, you’re right. It’s unfortunate to have completed training and just sit at home while it all deteriorates. One can only review so many things before they plateau. Line flying is what we need

Not true. Quit making BS excuses. You have jumpseat privileges on pretty much every carrier in the US. Hostels in Mexico and Central/South America are like $10-$15/night.

Looks like SkyWest is now paying our flight attendants $57,000 to go to flight school if they want then come work here as a pilot when they finish everything.

assuming the majors are hiring about 700 per week between them all, that’s a lot of seniority being lost by you because of this!

He’s saying he’s losing seniority at the majors since it will take him longer now to build time due to the IOE wait

he totally is. Could have been building time the last 17 weeks in order to move on. Sitting around won’t do much.

A F/A I’m flying with mentioned something about this but I didn’t hear anything about 57K, probably wasn’t really listening though. Where is this posted?

it was a mass email from Sonya sent to all FA’s
edit: OO has 47k worth of incentives for working as a pilot to help pay it back from what I seen in the email. idk what happens with the other 10k though
