The way i read it, it said they started a class early July and are running one once a month and needed to hire 25 to fill the October-December classes.

If the rumors are true about how many are leaving just this month, then you're probably right.

Stay away from SY. There is a reason this place is bleeding pilots - I heard another 8 resigned last week.

The pilot group is the only good quality about this place - the management is abysmal. A 'senior safety manager' sent an email telling pilots to escort the FAA off the property at the training center, the ASAP program was suspended for a while because FltOps violated the ERC process, and rumors abound that the operating certificate was almost suspended.

Go to Allegiant, go to Spirit, Frontier, etc. 2.67 hour vacation days, middle seat DH everywhere (sometimes 2-3 legs), no holiday pay, no picking up on days off, and the $20,000 training contract that screams Great Lakes style management. The HR director is a 2 bit attorney that rules with an iron fist. There's better places to be unless you live in MSP and have a second career doing something satisfying.

That sounds terrible! I sure hope that new CEO can figure out a few things or these guys are going to be bailing left and right for the foreseeable future... good luck to those guys - sheesh...

Get rid of that useless idiot who occupies the CP office , than his " mini me " version ( the cheerleader , AKA base chief pilot ) followed by ALL the useless losers they brought from Mesaba , bring back the old CP these morons removed from his position and life here would be much much better.
