I’ve heard the sim ownership rumor before. There is nothing out there in writing to confirm that Spirit actually owns the simulators. I would caution against believing anything that comes from the training department. That group tends to be full of cheerleaders because none of them want the instructor gigs to end. AFG corporate info also doesn’t confirm this information and it seems to go against their stated corporate identity as specializing in dry leasing sim hours. Trying to say that Spirit has invested any significant amount of money in training or infrastructure is folly.
You could pack up the Sheltair assets into another pod. Everything this company does is focused on the cheapest, minimalist way to perform the task and yes that includes the training department.

I think your being generous on the number of pods, you didn’t notice the rent-a-center barcodes under the desks at Miramar? I got disconnected from a scheduler because Aaron’s came and took her desk and chair away.

So that's what? 3 people still here after 8 months? Not sure that's going to make a dent, but hey, let's just give the new hires yet another reason to want to bail.

You would leave if you were rebased? AQP requires CA/FO pairings and FOs are cheaper to move forward. Rebase everyone for 4 months in a row or just once, 4 months early? Sounds logical and is a clever solution. The only re-basing that will expedite attrition is coming tomorrow at noon.

Isn't this about right? I was hopeful Bendo's latest email was a resignation letter, but alas just more half truths.
