August Training
 

Anyone been scheduled for transition training yet for August? I was thinking I’d have a class assignment by now. I’m displaced from 756 F/O to Airbus FO. Not in any hurry, just curious.

"Sssshhhhhhhhh...." They might forget about us.

I’m 11200 ish and emailed PC about it and he said to not expect training anytime soon. I’m also going from 756 to 320.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5f/bc...56c962828c.gifAmen. I’ll keep collecting that captain pay as long as I can.

There might be an overlying reason he said that.

From a TK source, the schedule “shell” was built yesterday. Priorities are CQ, LDRQ, then full course based on his info.

That’s all I can offer....

Lee

are they running any more than the 50% or less sim utilization that we’ve been hearing about......ie not nearly at full throttle

Thank you Lee.

That's warn letter territory isn't it?

you can’t hold 320 FO anywhere in the company......why would they train you?

yes it is. Oct 30

That’s interesting because I haven’t been displaced from 320 FO. Yet.

I dont know what your intent was with this post but it’s pretty divisive and petty. I was simply sharing my situation since both myself and the original poster share similar displacement statuses.

ok sorry I hurt your feelers but you need to go look at how many 320 CAs they are planning on......I can’t even hold 320 FO based on the CA numbers and I’m well north of 11,200.

good luck I’m sure they well over staff 320 FO by several hundred.

Man, I’m a little busy looking for a new job, the last thing I need is grief from my colleague.

I appreciated your input blizzue. Good luck with the job search. I couldn’t find anything in 2008 so I started my own business. It sucks but you’ll get through it. I’m hoping to not have to join you in a job search but as a 2007 hire I think it’s possible - time will tell.

Don’t pay any attention to his delivery. It’s a stupid forum and lots of straight talk gets lost in translation sometimes.

Hit me up if you live out West and looking for a flying job. I’m getting some leads here and there and more than happy to try and connect some good guys with a soft landing.

Man, I gotta say, your posts are 'straight man' territory for anyone who wants to make a joke about furloughs.

Had I wanted to make wisecracks, on your first response from Carlson, I would've put something like - he should've come back with your 320 training will be scheduled for 2023.

As a response to this, I would've put that your displacement from the 320 will be when you're told to turn in your badge.

We all know you're in a sucky place; I've been there twice and am thinking that a third trip out the door is a real possibility for me. Please remember that along with a lot of seriousness, most pilots I know have a sense of gallows humor. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dict...allows%20humor

It all sucks but we have no control over it so a lot of us try to lighten up the mood with sick jokes. Nothing personal in it.

I hope that 4 or 5 months ago when more than a few of us were saying, 'hope for the best but plan for the worst;' that you chose to make plans for the worst. By this point, you should've already been looking for a job for at least a couple of months and have some leads, especially with your seniority number.
A lot of us didn't get much warning post-911.

COVID's going to take away your job for a while. Don't let it take away your sense of humor.

There is now training scheduled for Sept. for pilots around the 10,600 seniority level. This pilot is going from the 756 to 320.

Apparently there are a few between the 9.5-10.6 range being scheduled for full courses. The one that's at 10.6 is going from the 757 to 320. Hopefully that bodes well for no more furloughs beyond the 2250 warn number, at least in the short term.

Long time reader here. I am scheduled for full course 73 at 10170s. I was certain I would be shown the door in January, and still dont discount it, but they got me current on the 320 this month to turn around and give me a full course in the 73 in September. Not sure how that makes sense, but I just fly the planes I guess.

I hope this is a good sign. See you on the 737 this Fall

Humm...I’m 96xx and nothing scheduled for me. Maybe they’re thinking my displacement will get cnx. Yeah right...🙄

Aren’t they supposed to train from the bottom of the list up after a displacement?

no....they just have to pay protect from the top down.....1 for 1

Just got notified of Aug CQ after being DNF since end of May. Around 10300 sen. For whatever it's worth.

That sounds encouraging. Better than not being trained anyway! Any of the TK guys care to chime in an opinion?!

My uneducated guess is for both directions demand can go later this fall. Demand improves, great! You’re current. If not, your RQ2/3 just got extended if demand gets worse and you’re furloughed.

Technically falls under September training, but there’s also this. 11,200 seniority, WARNed for 30 Oct.

Hello,

Our RTB bidding notification system is autogenerated based on who is eligible. If you are receiving this current CCSmessage, you will not receive a CQ due to a displacement award, retire or furlough. Please disregard the original bidding message.

Ok that CCS message is auto-generated, but filling training “shells” that are built is a manual process done be a real person per my last TK instructor.

Have any WARNs gotten full courses? You never know....

Not that I'm aware of. But I think there are at least a dozen or so from the 10,000-10,700ish range that are getting full courses in September.

That’d be straight b.s. if so. Like watching jr. pilots on my displaced fleet still flying. Not that I’m complaining since I still can’t get to my base. Just curious, besides the fact that they are still current.
Long courses in September. That’s not good for me, I’m sure there is something at home I could be doing.�

This particular message wasn’t auto generated as the follow up message indicated. The actual RTB message is.

I should’ve said “the” not “that”

as in, “the” CCS message is...

anyway,

the point was that if actual training is on your training schedule a human decided to put it there and did it manually per TK folks.
