Is there anyone in DEN that can tell me if it's shrinking? Have been trying to get in for four months and they aren't taking anyone

Yes. We are losing all united 700 flying that isn't mountain airports. Started earlier this year should have nothing in 6 months.
That means we shrink a little as the den erj base takes a lot of that flying.

Own it, how you learned from it and made you be better and proof is it was a one time thing. I believe you will be fine, depending what else your past holds. But concentrate on the future to improve.

I know that its PRIA reportable but am unsure as to how future employers would look at it and if it would make getting selected for an interview less likely. Any insight would be appreciated.

Going into the CTP class on the 8th followed by ground school. During the interview they said there would be anywhere from couple days to couple weeks of downtime before sim sessions. The pilot recruiter however says I'll flow directly into sim, is this possible? Especially since they had to split the CTP class into two due to such a large NH group. Just trying to plan some house sitting stuff. Thanks.

When I went through last year the sim classes either started immediately, had a week off, or two weeks off based on where you picked to do the sims. It is seniority based so you may not get what you want.

In ground right now. Our class has between zero days and 3 days from ground to sim, except for 2 folks who have 3 weeks.

SAPA needs to fix the BS practice of giving people who needed the CTP in-class seniority over people who didn't (read: already had their ATP). If anything, thy should go to the bottom of the class since they cost the company a bunch of extra money due to their lack of the rating.
