Yes probably cheaper and as AMCND(sp) said, saves space. The outsourced labor outsources. Awesome.

It's not big growth that supports it, it's big attrition. SkyWest does want to steadily grow over the next few years (6000 pilots+, up from the current 5,300). SkyWest is also anticipating losing well over 1000+ pilots in the next 12 months. They need their sims for new-hire and upgrade training, which means outsourcing CTP for a while, which will likely cost a little bit more but I doubt they have much of a choice.

Thats actually right on the math historically. 15% attrition.. number looks high compared to the days when we only had 2000~ pilots on the list. But with 5330+ 70-80 every month is expected..

It's a bit unfortunate since a buddy going through CTP in SLC said they were learning relevant procedures for SKYW; just to get a head start. I'm assuming through L3 that won't be the case so not as advantageous.

So far there’s been no “freeing up”....
Wait-listed since December (April class date) and no call- to date- for any January class. Hired some time ago.
It’s maddening to wake up each day and manage risk as a flight instructor because I’ve chosen to wait for a Skywest class. How long before any regional with an immediate class date trumps any/all reasons for choosing OO?
Am I alone in this thinking?

That may change. They outsourced CPT, just finishing construction on new training rooms in Denver and new sims. New upgrade foot print for ERJ fo - CA.. they should start calling people and moving them up in the next week or 2....
