Originally supposed to be much larger, then was reduced. Perhaps training constraints in light of all the other sim cancelations of MV's and LOE's???

Word on the street is TK is about as organized as the meth heads tweaking across the street behind the Double Tree.

Why is TK not hiring more PIs?

From what I’ve heard it’s the new scheduling program for TK. It has caused numerous issues...

It's also been posted by PI's as the software program that's part of the "we're and IT company with wings" that screws things up....

I believe it’s the new scheduling system used to schedule instructors and students at TK.

I flew a trip last week with an instructor getting his monthly fly days in. He talked about FOX. I told him about my LOE being canceled this week and he spoke of major problems with FOX and showed me several emails on his phone asking for instructors to pick up overtime events. Interesting tidbit, he spoke about a question asked by an instructor to Scott Kirby during this Falls Standards meeting talking about how FOX wasn’t ready to be activated. Kirby says FOX wouldn’t be turned on until bugs worked out and it was ready to go. However, apparently a TK manager convinced Kirby everything was good to go with FOX.

Has said manager been fired? The damage being done has got to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
