Also, those CQFO's seem to move on to better jobs as quickly as they get hired. Apparently, just getting that PIC 121 time on your resume says a lot. Even the people that only have 30 hours PIC move on. So, it worked out for them. FWIW, I never was a fan of our company implementing the CQFO program.

And Commutair will have the same problems we have, unless they start parking airplanes.
Not sure why you are so happy, you are still losing the planes and shrinking.

...I suspect we will continue to struggle with staffing unless the company can get some kind of preferential interview with its mainline partners, or we will have to pony up with bonuses again. UAL obviously recognizes the need for a path to mainline for its regional partners to staff in its deal with Commutair. I expect to see this follow at other UAX carriers.

I can clearly see its in your nature. And yes, actually a lot of guys did leave both companies for the CQFO program. Some are already at United. I'm sure they're happy about the move.

No one was boasting. The only time people were defending the growth was when XJT/ENY pilots came on here to tell us how terrible of people we all were for getting the flying even though not a single concession was made in a decade.
