This came up the other day in a meeting. I have to look at section 9 again but we can't train in the middle of the night. 12-5 maybe? Anyway, no mention of increasing class sizes. DFW sim won't be up for another couple of months. Door trainer is also going in Dfw.

And all of flight ops seems to love the C series but as one can assume its not up to them. Oh, the 100 will have 128 seats but Gary wasn't sure if that's in Spirit configuration.

No checkride or training. Without pilot concurrence (there is your window for pressure.)

9.F.12

If all the instructors just say no it's a nonissue

"Ok applicant Bob, if we were to offer you a pilot position here at Spirt, are you ok with taking a 2am sim slot for your initial training?"

"Sure, I will"

I think it will be as simple as that. How many instructors they get? Who knows.

Yep, I'd much rather be a Low Tier 4-yr upgrade than a DAL/ Fed Ex sub 2-yr upgrade.

Who wants all that money when you can get a free high five?!? Mortgage companies take high fives for payment, right???
