8 months to a year. Also all those observations remove instructors from the sked not to mention the massive increase in required QCs.
They can, and will, pencil whip the instructor training program to fit their needs. You will find that suddenly there won't be a see one do one program, it will be much shorter.

Although I don’t see 4000 cuts, but if they did that’s likely 125ish instructors, and other management pilots. Would they even get that many from the line to replace them? Many may not want to replace a furloughee job, or move to Denver. Im not sure how some would feel about filling a job only made empty by a furlough of a union brother or sister.

if a person is furloughed out of an IP job at TK or an LCA for that matter, where do they stand upon recall? Back to the oars to row until they can get the IP gig back?

Two additional 787 full flights come online Monday. Both qualified last week. They're in the new building.

Yup.

Pilots returning from furlough are treated like new hires and receive whatever is in the class drop. That said, I'm sure any furloughed IPs would be on the short list when re-applying for IP jobs.

I have zero desire to do that work. That said, I doubt they'll have much difficulty replacing PIs who are furloughed.
And frankly, once the displacement training's done, there will be a period where the bridge between the E and F building will have more tumbleweeds than people on it. And it's not like displacement training needs to be done quickly - train a few classes of NB FOs and that's probably all it will take to keep the airline running at this reduced level of flying.

I've personally witnessed the 737 instructor program change 3 times since I've been in the building. What makes you think they can't change it again to fit this situation? Serious question.

I have seen it change too and of course they can go back and do it anyway they get approved. All I’m saying is that is no longer the way it’s done.

with that Said there has been massive turnover in that building in the last year. There are new Managing Directors including the top guy. There are new managers running all the fleets. Several fleets have all new APMs and the POI is going to be new soon.

there was a ton of work done over the last year standardizing instructor training across all fleets, bringing the training up to what is required by AQP and the FAA.....we fell short for a long time.

they are free to change it but they better start now.
