Wondering if the tempered WB A forecast from BS has to do with lack of instructors? Training foot print for a instructor is quite a bit longer than that of a pilot getting qualed. Good thing we have those JV’s to protect revenue (tic)

A friend who spoke with an RD said they have basically admitted the timing of the 900 hires and training will basically get us to status quo with this last summer. Good ad copy though. Cha-Ching if you want to do the work.

Even a ravenous shark stops eating when it’s full....

True, but have you ever seen a pilot with a wallet that is full?

I love the reaction every time. So much more entertaining than the chicken stuff.

A source from the 4th floor told me today the reason for the delay in posting wide body vacancies if that the FAA is going to raise the retirement age and they are waiting to see when it will take affect. FWIW......
