Negotiations have literally just begin. Give them a chance to play all their cards. I do see your point though of course

Here’s some iffy assumption riddled math. Let’s say we can train roughly 57 every 3 weeks. That works out to ~75 a month. Let’s say we lose 40 a month plus another 5 washouts. That’s a gain of 30. Leaving upgrade at 15 a month. We’re gonna grow at a snails pace if at all. It’s not good enough.

I'm guessing the number of failures in a class of 50+ is a good bit higher than 3? Don't you think?
I have no numbers to back that up, but if only 3 out if 50+ are failing their checkrides then the sim instructors need a raise

Don't forget, management does not want us here. BL has stated many times that they want pilots here for 3 years and that's it. After 3 years, they want us gone. They have no interest in making this a career airline because they do not want career pilots here. Financially, they want a revolving door where nobody stays. Do don't hold your breath. It'll be contract 2030.

Some captain I flew with a month ago said there were actually 8-10 people who busted their initial.
