Save enough to get cell service under the overpass till you get into class. Training has a hotel.

"We are looking forward to seeing you join our pilot ranks soon. As we have moved into the New Year, I want to give you an update regarding your February class date for initial training.
Our teams are working to finalize class dates for 2023 to ensure they each align with our operational needs. As we evaluate our overall 2023 pilot training schedules, we are adjusting some new hire class dates to facilitate Captain upgrades and align with our training requirements and operational needs. As a result, we expect to assign you a new class date in the coming months. This change would also impact your CTP course, if applicable.
Thank you for your patience. We are working as quickly as possible to facilitate updated class schedules that will provide you a seamless transition from new hire to ground training.
Please continue to keep me updated if there are any changes to your preferred aircraft or availability."

Rumor mill from SkyWest, we are going into a recession (unknown size) come March ‘23. Republic is aware of the same and has expected to hold FO hire until 3rd quarter 2023 to prioritize captain upgrades and operational needs…etc.

Republic, and all the AA WO’s, apparently have staffing issues with their CA to FO ratio. How many captains to First officers does OO have at this moment? I thought all the captain upgrade’s already went through?

What remains to be seen is how long, how deep, and what the eventual recovery looks like. Historically, regional airlines have tended to do better in recessions but whether this holds true again in 2023 is anyone's guess.

Management view pilots as numbers and look at the big picture to balance their staffing needs. The mandatory upgrade policy proves SkyWest has been struggling to maintain enough captains, and it’s possible that speeded up the exit of some pilots or they weren’t able to get them through training fast enough. Also consider that management would rather slow down hiring before a recession than lay them off after it starts. Just remember it isn’t personal.
