My friend is feeling defeated about it as well. Strong emphasis for applicants already typed so they can do a short course. Ultimately I think we need to get our own 777 simulator.

I’m with Riverside on that one. We are grossly over staffed on the whale at the moment, and don’t know about the light twin. The emphasis is on the triple, and it’s easy to take whale drivers and throw them in the short course to move over.
We need some new airframes to handle the overhiring since attrition isn’t very fast, but there’s plans of retiring some of the BCFs so it may turn into a zero gain.

We are losing people to the usual places, and retirements... They certainly aren't slowing down the hiring of mechanics!
I am not as pessimistic about the 74/76 fleets.

They are running a 747 class in October. Hopefully they keep trickling in in the 747 at a minimum.
Hiring short-course 777 guys is smart. As much as it sucks it certainly get people on the line quicker!

No sim time availability. Let me put on my shock face. Going to need to pony up and buy 2 sim bays.
