Great question.

I just hope that CAs are paired with FOs as much as possible.

One ofthe junior EWR awards from 19-02 starts 12/16 - 1/21. No training partner is assigned so it will be a new hire who starts soon.

Haven seen any no-shows recently. Sometimes there's a furlough returnee or a couple FTI's occupying 2 or 3 of the 40 slots.

Going to have 49 Qual crews (not short course upgrades) in Dec and targeting up to 55 crews per month early next year. It will be the most training conducted in a single fleet in the history of either airline.

Wow! Good news. I guess there won't be many PIs out flying much.

On the final awards, are the names with SUP next to it just paper awards? No training required? Just counting up the number of guys ahead of me to get a ball park estimate.

Yes, SUPs are either instructors, managers, etc...

They still have the required number of flights to do. Doesn't look like this hiring will ease up for awhile either.

After next Fall you can actually use those numbers to mean something. Since we have had a good number of folks on furlough bypass for years now, you actually need to look at active pilots, not total pilot on the seniority list , to judge growth
