The thing is, in the near future the flow will work in the upward direction the age 65 rule change has screwed everyone. Had the retirement age not been changed we wouldnt be talking about it moving backwards right now.

Actually that website was started by Mainline pilots with 10+ years of experience at the regionals before going to DAL and NWA.

Well, some RAH guys who have been furloughed will be on the street again if this all goes down. Not fun. Good luck guys.

You forget that they now have the sim up and running in MSP therefore before mentioned 20 max per month does not apply.

That limitation was more so due to the lack of efficient training in Montreal. Now they can run the sim around the clock. Best guess I would not be shocked to see 40 to 60 per month if needed.

There still may be a month or 2 of gap before the first guys are online because of the month of homestudy that is in the training and the time to actually do the training.

I would be totally shock and awed if they were able to do more than 30 a month. The staff simply isn't there.

What makes them a special breed? Is it that they want to stop the erosion of scope or what? I suppose that would make them a special breed.

God forbid you become a captain on an ejet I think I'll poop myself from the irony
