I heard this new Lufthansa system will make pay automated too. Who knows??

So .... You're saying that Hulas decided to hire CQFOs out of the goodness of his heart just?

And which regionals might those be?

I don't pretend to have any inside knowledge on anything or know more than anyone else, but isn't it pretty much public knowledge that XJT is getting rid of all their 145s over the next 2 years? Skywest announced as much. What will happen at Envoy if they vote no? Will Endeavour shutdown?

Look, it is less than likely that all this new flying is announced at certain regionals and other regionals stay the same size and don't lose flying. Scope clauses are pretty much tapped out and if someone gains someone else must lose out.

Then again maybe no one does furlough and no one does get shutdown.

Really? Well, they haven't parked the jets yet. They need pilots to fly them in the mean time and they are bleeding FOs as they see what is coming down the pipe.

I mean if you think XJT is a good place to go with a bright future then by all means go there. I don't want to deter anyone from going where ever their hearts desire.

There are only 34 qualified FOs on property....the rest of the 150 FOs don't have the time....

they will upgrade those by spring...I won't be done with IOE till ends of Feb (based on any delayes)


THE WORST PART OF THE CQFO PROGRAM.

you get paid first year FO rate at 60/month till you're done with IOE ....that will deter some people
Other than you saying there was an upgrade class of 15 in January? Once again, call me when you are a captain on March 1.

With how much guys will be flying I think you'll see the numbers of those that are qualified increase in the first quarter of 2016. Don't be surprised or discouraged if your outright upgrade gets pushed back 6 months.
