Went in for 6mo recently and was told 2 classes only had 3 or 4 people but all classes have been full after that. Nobody had a clue as to why so many new hires though...

They are still playing catch up in my opinion. Every day in LA they are short or have 0 available CA reserves. Daily critical pay messages about MSP CA, and an entire month of critical pay open time pick ups. There are still tons of people leaving and a huge amount of people continually in training.

Hopefully the plan is to finally have this place properly staffed. If there is more flying coming we are already behind.

I'm in an upcoming class, and was able to shift dates forward fairly easily. Not sure if this is any indication in class "fullness".

Does anyone know if there are any bottlenecks in training as some other airlines are experiencing?

A few months ago they were some slight delays in training due to sim availability and instructor availability. However recently I've heard from friends in training that it's been smooth and not any real issues

I heard that the scheduling supervisor's daughters best friend made a Facebook post and was then re tweeted by a sim instructors Mom who's uncle posted on Instagram and it stated PBS is delayed 2 days because of the additional flying and airplanes coming in March! It has to be true!

Just adding to this:

772 including people that literally just started new hire training this week....

There are still about 100 pilots who have yet to hit the line not to mention those in CA upgrade training and CA IOE. Furthermore, out of the master list of 772 I would probably take out at least 10% which includes management and pilots who are in the training department. There's also quite a few people on MIL leave.

So, as of now, I'd say we have about 550-600 active pilots, not 800. That's less than 10 pilots per plane.

At the same time, there's been a lot of people leaving, they said they thought attrition was going to be about 6 pilots per month, but I keep hearing it's over double that number.

Also, based on the amount of AA planes just sitting there, I don't think we're running the AA operation at 100% yet.

I think we're most likely right where we should be, maybe slightly overweight, but that never hurt.

I also remember reading on the newsletter a month or two ago where our COO Jake Rosholt said we needed to focus on stabilizing operational performance before we could take on more flying - so, it's pretty clear there's most likely more flying to be had as soon as that happens.

The email from the union explains why it was delayed.

Gosh, I hope things are still on the up and up when I reach 1500 hours in November. Compass is looking like my number 1 choice.

The industry is changing so quickly but hopefully with that rate of attrition you guys will continue to have high demand and quicker upgrades (Than SKW) into the foreseeable future. What do you think?

Anyone know how the being released at 1800 on your last day of rsv works? do we need to call scheduling? or...?
