Not at all. I was simply noticing the increased movement and not trying to come across as a greedy a-hole that wants everyone to move on so I can get mine.
My base is so senior that I hope I will be able to get out and hired as an FO at a major. I have not even had the opportunity to upgrade, but I will not take the first chance either. If the reserve re-write looks worthwhile after a couple months, I may roll the dice then. But after 4 years of abuse from AS, I will not be jumping at the first chance to be obligated to answer a 435 number while commuting to reserve.
My main point was more eloquently put by CCB. After hearing about how we are paid so well and don't need to make any improvements because everyone is so damn happy by KB, it seems like we have a lot of people moving on once the hiring picked back up.

They're definitely disillusioned in SGU.
The ones leaving are smart. Companies offering a real retirement with a real contract. Wish I could say I'm shocked more don't leave, but I've met too many of the Kool-Aid drinkers. They'd drink management's poo water if asked to.

So is there a bunch of classes starting around now at DL, AA and UA?? We have lost 11 Captains so far this month. Word is that there are a bunch of people with offers and just waiting for class dates or have dates over the next couple months. Maybe we are not getting new flying but hiring like mad because they realize we are going to lose a bunch of people quick?
Kinda makes me wish KB was still around so we could remind him of his message about the low attrition due to job satisfaction. Was it job satisfaction or the fact that nobody was hiring??

Both are SkyWest CAs. And just so you know, most people view the 1000 as lifers, both of these CAs are inside the top 900 with one inside the top 600.

Be able to draw and explain a turbine engine.
Be able to draw and explain a precision runway with markings and lighting.
Be able to draw and explain the electrical system of your most complex aircraft flown.
Know your Jepp charts and IFR procedures.
If you're not sharp on a Frasca sim, go rent some time in one. In my interview group of 6, 4 were sent home. All were sent home because of issues with the Frasca.
But most of all, just be relaxed, professional, and try to enjoy the process. Really
Good luck!

The fact that you're terrifed is a good thing. The guys they lay the wood down on are the overconfident bozos.
