Heard the company came to SAPA to reduce the required time for upgrade. It should go reduced for the March upgrade class.

So they get what they want, whenever they want it?

You mean that special one they just threw at us? What a total cluster...

Bad but nothing can come close to the TEM CBT of a couple years ago.

I heard that was the first CBT to ever get hate mail.

I'm all for lowering whatever upgrade time they can as long as we get a QOL item in return.

That TEM CBT was a doozie however it was nothing compared to the FMS one that CC made for the Brasilia years before that. It must have taken him weeks make in order get all the hot spots on the buttons in the right place.

All of our CBTs couldn't suck more than they do!

It's pathetic that these are being used as a primary means to train professional pilots.

For new hires and upgrades there are 44 CBTs required and new hires get 4 days to do them. They take 12 to 16 hours per day and they are the initial exposure to all of the systems. Fortunately the systems test has been seriously dumbed down and everyone passes.

There’s plenty of people with time to upgrade. No one wants Atlanta and Detroit

Not a fan unless we get something tangible in return.....QOL will never be improved with slightly better staffing. They will just go out and add more flying.

Let me know which future flights will have a sub-2500 hours captain so that I can tell my family to steer clear of them.

I bet they lower the 121 time... TT may be a insurance reason.. Regardless, February classes DVR is out and 40 CRJ captains and 27 ERJ Captain ls. CRJ is mostly DTW/ATL. ERJ ORD/SAN mostly.. im guessing more newhire captains. Just ran into a NH, he’s in Sim Loft Training and heads to Captain Upgrade in 2 weeks...
