Default Class Cancelled?

I just heard from a friend that an entire class got cancelled. Was it due to SIM unavailability, or something else? Just curious.

I was supposed to be in the February 22 class, they advised me they were doing anything until May and now they want me to go to GoJet. Not sure what is going on? Is Trans States going to be pushed aside?

The FO trainees were told they are being furloughed due to lack of captains in the upgrade class. GoJet came in and told all of them they have a class starting tomorrow and they were all offered a job.

A class was cancelled and offered either resignation, personal leave for months with hope of a class, or termination. They say there are too many first officers on property and too much training backlog. They also are attempting to negotiate concessions in the contract in part because they are “so well staffed.” Please pass this around, trans states holdings doesn’t want you and doesn’t want to give its employees a fair contract.

Spoke with TSA HR today. All classes are cancelled through May and not sure when the next ones will be due to extreme overstaffing of FO's. They are trying to push everyone to GoJet, which has a fantastic bonus. My only issue is they don't have a DEN base, which is why I really wanted TSA. Not sure what I'm going to do next. Not happy.

Trans States and Go Jet equal bottom feeders aka scum bag airlines. Do some research on their long history and why they earned such a well deserved status. Why in this day and age of you can literally get any regional job you want if you have 1500 hours and a heart beat would anyone go to work for them, honest question? Just to be clear my remarks are meant for management and not any line pilots or other employees.

The problem with training is a lack of instructors. They don't treat instructors very well and the only guys interested are the ones who live in STL. They have been after a concessionary contract for the last year and that had nothing to do with staffing although management has been talking that up recently. Keep in mind "so well staffed" for TSA is normal staffing for everyone else. Lots of trips in open time. No premium yet for FOs, but its coming. Look for the Junior manning to start in April.

It was great for a while when KS took over. But once he left, the place started going downhill and is headed back to where it was before KS got here.
