Smart? If you are J.S. Aka glorified flight instructor. You needed A LOT of waivers per the FAA for your position at NK. Just sayin'. I'm more qualified, per the Regs, and it's evident every time I set foot in the training environment. Cheers

Forget the C series talk. Please welcome the 330 regional. You can't make this stuff up....

Optimized for domestic and regional markets....announced the A330 Regional, Airbus chief Fabrice Bregier touted the new design as the perfect solution to some of the air travel industry’s biggest issues. “Operators of the new A330-300 variant will benefit from a proven, mature and reliable aircraft that brings relief to limited airspace, airport congestion and pilot shortage.”

At least we'd have at least an hour on turns. Couldn't get all those people off and back on that quickly.

4 big fronts? Maybe 10....but all in one row.

If you have a personal beef with the guy's qualifications, have some self respect, man up and tell him yourself.

Every time I step foot in the training environment, I'm thankful for the great instructors and check airmen we DO have.

What do you mean want to do? They already are, ask any recent new hire. If you think there's value in seniority list instructors, at least ask your rep what we've gotten in return for replacing them with full time instructors. JS isn't coming after the training department in negotiations, he's taking it now. And from my vantage point in the top row bleachers, it seems we are doing nothing in response to stop him.

Now they are going all night training, and guess what they can do if they can't get any/enough seniority list instructors to do it? I'll give you a hint, it's in the contract.
