The company hires anyone who meets the mins, the training department decides if you get to stay.

Our check airman are not paid enough.

That's tough to believe. Oh wait, I re-read the part about him being ERAU. Makes sense. What an a-hole LCA.

butthurt much? He was just pointing out a fact lost on a lot of the kids in this thread chomping at the bit to go make $1800/month flying a $30M E175 with a 100 lives in their hands... The problem is deep and begins with the pilots taking these crap jobs.

We've had a mess of people get sick over the past week in ATL though. Heard they had FlightSafety wipe down the sim pretty good today to stem the tide.
Compared the seniority list from 10/30 to 11/6 and there were six names that were missing that had TRG listed as domicile. Again, it was my assumption of what class there were in based on when they showed up on the seniority list. Unless we are taking people off the seniority list for being sick, these are pilots that are no longer with SW.

It's way more than 20 but that is what the company and SAPA line that is being fed to the pilots. We have lost 126 pilots over the last 3 months.

Sho'nuff, we've lost six. And....gained one who wasn't with us during ground school, strangely. Any idea how that could happen?

6 in a week, sounds like the training dept is picking up the slack from HR/People. Mins/pulse may get you through the door, but weak sauce will get you back out, said door. I hear Messa is hiring though....

Just when I thought your crudity and tastelessness couldn't get any worse, you manage to top yourself. Well done, sir.

CC says a specific partner wants these. And I choose to believe CC more than MT. That's just me.
