Supposedly.... From a guy... So take with a grain of salt:

Shake up in the school house

Pipe is full

Instructors ****ed off and quitting almost as fast as newhires

No upgrades for this sys bid

190 fleet std capt being asked to go fly the line

Bottom line, we need about 500 guys to cover the next 12-18months and don't know how to get them online.

Fwiw...

I tried logging in today to update my flight time and the window is gone. All I can do is update my personal information. Anyone know about this? Thanks!

Well... For guys trying to get hired, probably good to get more bodies online.

Working for an airline that's exceptionally short staffed and needs to hire 3 guys for every 2 bodies needed... Not so good if you value your home life.

You can weigh it out.

Good luck dudes

1. What kinds of things besides a criminal history would cause someone not to make it beyond phase II?
2. Also, has JBU scheduled any Vets in Blue events after 8 March?

Heard some rumors that JB training is running nonstop and it is impacting training success for new hires. Lots of finger pointing apparently.

Heard some of the same things.
This place is literally run by drunken monkeys.
Not good. Hey The Dave, if you slow the growth to prove a point, I quit.
