They're tripling their fleet, we're parking planes. You'll make more over there and flow to UAL. Why come here?

It's an interview, not a flow. Seems like the failure rate so far is high. Makes sense since some are taking it probably with a wet ATP. But yeah...the movement can't be denied, plus quick upgrade at Commutair. Gonna be a fun summer at AWAC for sure.

April schedule info was just posted, pretty sizeable reduction in the amount of lines across all bases. Block hours for May are reduced as well.

I think that's typical. But if it goes down in June, that's a bad sign.

Not sure. I am almost positive last April/May were in the 13,000+ range. Jan/Feb numbers were the same this year and to be expected. I know March was expected to go up, as it did, but yeah looks like we are down slightly for April.

Hard to know for sure what it all means. Everyone is starting to really feel it now.

Look at the amount of lines and how much less there are between March and April.

Shrinkage to match attrition and parking of planes. Makes financial sense for the company.

I think this is how it works:

You interview at Commutair. If you want to flow to UAL, you also interview at UAL, I think before you start at Commutair. If you pass the UAL interview, then you will flow. If you don't pass the UAL interview, then you work at Commutair and can go wherever you want, just like anyone else.
