This probably effects 1700 of you, and more every month, so maybe come together and start complaining loudly to the APA (a la LOS now). Otherwise nothing will happen. This doesn’t effect me, but I have sent sound offs and complained on “American Voice”. Good Luck, I’m with you on it.

Only 24 pilots instead of the 40 projected...interesting.

Any news on why that number is lower than projected? I wonder if Delta has overtaken us to be the largest airline in the world yet.

Could be that training is completely backed up. We're farming out 737 and Airbus sims, in addition to going full tilt on ours.

That and we've got to do software upgrades on the sims. This might be the time frame they're doing it.

Thank Crandall for it (and the APA back then).

I'm in this Feb 6th class. East coast guy. If I end up with Lax 737 how long before I can switch bases roughly? Do you think I could be lga 737 based before I'm finished with training??

Yes, ask the guy who comes in on drop day if you can switch to lga, if not, you’ll get it on the next award I bet.
