120'sh in Dec, 50'ish in Jan, 18 in Feb, 155 in March...it's all over the place. They're saying 1400-1500 this year, most doubt this will happen. We STILL have existing pilots on paid leave. Recently a group was sent home from equal training due to instructor availability. Severe mismanagement of our manning would be an understatement.

Kind of? Very beginning.

It's not because they don't want them back or can't force them back. It's a failure of leadership. They chose ETOPS growth over EXTO requal training last spring. Now COVID is ripping its way through the training center so they sent some of the (maybe all?) EXTO requals home.

Well on paper that was the plan. Idiots at home in jammies failed to execute that plan. They were still offering leave last Spring when everyone else was bringing people back and ramping up hiring.
They used the excuse, “nobody saw the demand coming”. Uh…leave your house and you would’ve. 3 rounds of stimmy money left people with a mountain of cash and cancelled vacations they wanted to retake.
Far as I’m concerned…anyone in charge over the last year should be fired for gross incompetence

It looked good on paper except for the part where they allowed those on leave to fall out of currency and they fully didn't anticipate the lead time needed to get instructors up to speed or the competitive market in Dallas for those instructors. Now they have lost 3 instructors (died) from covid since Mid September and who knows how many others out sick and here we are. CEO is gone, COO needs to go, and anyone else in on those decisions needs to be reconsidered. But they're "laser focused"...
