That happened more than once, air turnbacks too..

Caused by swaps, they would originally have the right paint job scheduled for SGU, but things would get shuffled around and it got missed occasionally. I learned to look at the paint scheme before I went to SGU.

That’s awesome. Would it be feasible to be flying 80ish hours per month on top of working in the training department, or would that be stretching things a bit too thin?

My goal is to fly my pants off and get 1,000 hours of 121 SIC time my first year so I can upgrade sooner, and also credit as much as possible so I can build some savings up. I was thinking about picking up as much OT as I legally would be allowed to, but I’d be happy to volunteer for positions like the training department or recruiting if they’d take me literally after I go through training.

I think maybe he was thinking you meant credit vs actually flying. Joining the training department will get you lots of credit/pay but very little flight time since you'll always be ground instructing. What you want to do is get a line and pick up open time.

Got it, thanks! Hopefully lines are quick to get out of ORD, although I’m sure I’ll be waiting a few months.

They were talking pay. Those folks fly very very little. Lol. Ten hours per month? Most?
Absolute best case you are 18mo to upgrade. Most like 24. SkyWest has no new captains to fly with you until 2023(Covid hiring freeze).

Welcome. Love the new guy enthusiasm. You’re not the first.

You probably won’t fly that much in the training department, when I taught ftd earlier this year guys were flying maybe one trip a month

Why are they reopening ATL at record low staffing numbers?
