Thanks for the input captain obvious.

Does anybody know how many new-hire classes there have been this Summer and/or Fall and how big have they been?

Anytime! You'd be amazed how many people need to be smacked with the obvious at times.

First: Billy...shut your mouth...you have never added anything to the discussion except ridiculous analysis but then coat it with "but we are all in this together" bs.

For Alfred:

There has been an indoc class every two weeks all year save for a week or two. The class sizes have varied from 2 at the lowest to 15 but most are around seven.

There are two more classes starting this year including on Monday. Then a break due to holiday scheduling.

Ridiculous. Okay Where did I say we're all in this together? We are all part of the American Eagle System and that's about it. There was a time we all partied together. I've crushed beers with Conex folks, ACA, ASA, AWAC, skywest, mesa, CCAir. You're right times have changed and nobody cares about the other guy anymore. Amazing to walk into a crewroom now and see how everyone is divided. Damn sure used to not be like that.

Anyway good luck.

Wow, you must fly jets! I bet you're such a great stick and so great at flying jets a regional airline lets you fly them for peanuts and subpar working conditions... I admire people like you that stand on the 3rd place podium and put down the guys who finished 4th or worse. If you can't tell, (maybe because your unjustified ego is so big) it's sarcasm.

Why did I get an email from AWAC asking me to interview? I do not have an app on file and have not given them a resume in over three years.

It was in FEB of this year that the company pulled back from parking their planes because AA was begging them to keep flying. I just heard this today that we are going to actually do it and park and part-out those planes.

I am not sure of the number but it is around 4. Obviously the planes they paint are not the ones that are going to time-out.
PSA flying is increasing in DCA, taking over flying from RAH. We are now flying 700/900s in there as well and parking at the gates.
