Checkairman aside, the numbers look daunting. We will have about 600 line pilots in a few months. Classes are full through March I believe. And how many airplanes are we supposed to be getting? The pool of pilots out there is quickly drying up. I very much hope our company can staff this, but I'm just not sure the numbers support this. Worst case scenario is we staff what we can I guess.

If not, count the following
Per 121.436(c) You may count up to 500 hours of time accumulated as the aircraft commander in a multiengine, turbine powered, fixed wing aircraft requiring more than one pilot.
FAR Part 121 SIC time any
FAR Part 135.243(a)(1) PIC time
To apply 135 PIC time toward upgrade, you must have been serving as the PIC, in a passenger carrying operation, in a turbojet airplane with 10 or more passenger seats (not crewmember seats). No other 135 time counts.
FAR Part 91.1053(a)(2)(i) PIC time
Must have been PIC on a multiengine, turbine powered, fixed wing aircraft requiring an ATP certificate and applicable type rating. 91.1053 falls under subpart K for Fractional outfits only.

Were you employed as a 121 PIC on (not before) July 31, 2013? If so then your PIC time meets the 121 requirement.

Lmao...what dude??!! I think you have me confused with someone else bro. This is a forum for discussion. What I brought up is for rational discussion. From what I see you post on here, you seem like a complete douche clown. And you bet I would say it to your face if I knew who you were.

We will need somewhere around 900 ish line pilots… which goes to show the hiring is on track. The last airplane doesn't show up for over another year. Dropping the upgrade minimums will surely help get FO's in the door. I personally know of close to a dozen of my own CFI friends that passed on us to go somewhere else solely on the fact that our minimums were so high. With the news this week, they now regret that decision.
I'll start worrying when we are canceling dozens of flights due to staffing. Initially we should be fine… late summer/early fall may be another story, but only time will tell.

I have a feeling things will pick up once the first CQFOs get out there and fly a PIC. Especially if the bypassed FOs open a few full time PIC slots. That would be the best advertisement TSA can give itself if the first classes get captain slots within a few months of hitting the line (even if the subsequent classes aren't nearly that lucky).

See why can't you have that kind of attitude in your previous posts. And btw come up with better insult than a douche clown. You're a pilot for goodness sake.
