Now not even SWA flight attendants are this good.

Dancing flight attendants.

I wonder if GAGA and Katy Perry know their music is being used this way.

There's got to me more; a lot more to the story of their resignations....

I find it inconceivable that someone would apply, interview, show up for training and then resign because of their sim schedule.

I remember back when I got hired they did a pretty thorough background check and if something "unfavorable" showed up that hadn't been previously disclosed, the individual was given the opportunity to resign rather than be fired.

Just wonderin'...

Ouch, but you are exactly right! (exept Delta airlines is spelled Delta Air Lines).
We really need to step up CS from our end. Sad not to hear anything from the pilots on a 45 minute taxi. Sad to see pilots in dirty uniforms.
FA's need to do better job too.
I flew Lufthansa and BA this summer and their even domestic service blew me away. A hot meal in coach on a 45 minute flight! I thought there was no money in that!

Agreed. You wouldn't leave the chance of a lifetime because you were getting training pay guarantee for a month.

I didn't say that they resigned because of the sim schedule. I couldn't tell you if they are correlated or not.

Are you talking New Hires or are you talking recalls. Many of the recalls may have gone back out on Mil leave.

Ya know background checks are sometimes not completed until after you start. Lie on an app or purposely omit something and they have been known to pull ppl. (Arrests, attendance, education level etc are biggies)

Also, many of these pilots may be getting pulled off their training because of an award on this last AE. Go see if they show up on the AE with an award to another jet. This might be much of it.
