The number can be deceiving. 150 flow pilots will be removed from the top of the list starting April 1 through November 1, at a pace of 20 a month. 650 is their end number with non-flying pilots included. You can almost think of it as though we need to grow to 800 to account for the 150 flow pilots leaving. We probably are around 650 pilots right now (500 active) and need to hire another 150 for the flow and AA growth. After that, all hiring is for regular attrition.
To figure out where you will sit, take your current number and minus 150 for your November number. Divide that by 650 and there is your seniority % in November. 1-5 non-flow pilots will likely leave monthly, so you can probably account for that too.

Modern Slavery
The problem is that we complain and complain and complain but do nothing about the situation and yet we expect things to miraculously change, that's the definition of Insanity my friends. It's modern day slavery 
they are trying to make things as difficult as possible so that you either quit or go insane. This profession has been destroyed at the regional level. There is no adequate compensation which is ok as long as there is quality of life (multiple days off, commutable lines, productive trips). Now we gave in to more concessions and our quality of life is been taken away. Yet there's plenty of mediocre 2nd and 3rd class pilots getting hire by the regionals cause this companies need to fill the seats. Here's the F*&K part about this, the FAA implemented all this changes (1500hrs, 117 rules) all to help place experience and well rested pilots in the cockpit. I wonder what they'll do when a plane slam into the ground cause by pilot error
. Always have a backup plan.

Well will see. I called them and they gave me the code for the delta project rate, whatever that means. It was 63 a night and didn't say anything about breakfast. I guess will see...

I know it's been addressed, just looking for the most current info, If hired, when can a new greenie like myself expect to get a start date and how long is training? i.e. how much self-study, onsite, sim? I know there is no clear answer and exact dates. Just wanting to get an idea how it works now. Thank you!
