Operations (panic, screaming, papers flying): "We can't get people to come to class…let's brainstorm! (long pause, buzzing sound) Here's an idea…pay them!…and cover the hotels!" Yes, yes, that will fix it!…
Scene 2:
Clueless bean-counter (robotic tones): "What?!? These outrageous costs?! Not in our DNA!! Cut costs, cut costs! We must shorten training time...in half!!. Yes, yes, perfect...that should fix it! MG will be pleased, yes, pleased he will be with me!"
Scene 3:
FSDO (laughing, mixed with expressions of disbelief): "Wait,…what??" Bust,…bust,…
Scene 4:
Operations (still screaming): "Our failure rate is unacceptable! We must hire more fodder to cover the training losses. Hire more victims!"
Scene 5:
Classes of 50, in complete disbelief, suddenly realizing that everything they read was true and they have 5-6 days to learn the MD-80 systems before facing a TYPE RIDE WITH A FED.

His total compensation for 2013 was $5.2 million. Gary Kelly's was just over $4 million to run a company with 17 TIMES the revenue of Allegiant. Yeah, we're different all right.

No, I wish I was done! Oral is next week, followed by sim. I'll say this, everyone seems genuinely interested in our success and are doing their best to get us the information. I just feel the entire training department is overwhelmed with all of the new hires and upgrades and transitions, which is not helping any of us. As for the gouge, I will say the gouges are actually extremely helpful and is a big part of what is keeping us going through class!
