The upgrade time at SW is about as long as this thread.

We’ve usually loaded it on the front and rear end so that all hands were on deck over the summer. So 3x60 through spring makes sense….assuming we have the manpower to train everyone. We have like 600 cka now….just need the sim instructors.

I feel like they need to ramp up interviews and hiring ASAP to have any shot of that many numbers.

Does anyone know approximately how many applications were received? The two guys I know who have applied and are well qualified have heard zippo.

CKA are now doing MOs.

Line pilots are teaching RPT.

Line pilots will be teaching systems and automation.

Line pilots are obviously more expensive than sim instructors. The company recognizes the limitations. They’ve decided the cost is worth the reward of being able to stay on pace with their growth plans.

Be nice if there was a union agreement for the line swine doing that kind of work…

Maybe the line swine shouldn’t have done the work until an agreement. Save me they are helping the company grow. SWA can’t be trusted . I guess those helping still haven’t seen it yet.

I don’t know the app amount but you can see the list of interviewees on SWAlife.
