One more to add. They made it a point to tell everyone that the members are aware of the COVID response procedures and that they are complaining to WUP when the crews are not following them. They were specific that they have received complaints about crews not wearing masks or taking precautions such as covering coughs=12pt.

i'm in the same boat. Last year left a 121 gig that i was for 17 years pushing heavy metal across the skies. As i am bumping up against my built in decrepitude date for 121 ops figured i would shift a little earlier to 135 so that i could work past that date and establish myself in a new company. Took a huge pay cut, figured (and was told) i would upgrade quick. Now i am stuck making fo wages on partial pay with little to no opportunities for upgrade. Should have stayed where i was, as i would still be making full pay.
Yes, i am rac i guess, but i was working at a bottom feeder acmi outfit. I work hard at the new job

Anyone know on average how many DPJ a/c were airborne at any given time pre-covid, or are airborne to be considered full strength? I'm in the hired pool awaiting a training date and have been watching flight aware to see how many a/c are in the air. Noticed today stronger numbers than recent. Trying to get a sense of when training might start based on the busyness of flights.

Some of the stuff on the call aren’t meant to be public yet but I can tell you it was all positive. I would suspect people in the hiring pool will hear some news shortly. Sorry for being a bit cryptic but I’m not sure how much they want out until it’s public.

Thanks bus driver! I appreciate it. I know the hiring staff is super busy so I didn't want to bother them with a question i'm sure they receive daily. Just trying to plan for a wedding and honeymoon in October and hoping to get through training before then! Thanks again and look forward to hearing the news/update.

For the Gama side of the house - Depends on your other experience, but not likely. If you're right at ATP mins, I'm not sure if I would even bother applying. If you have a bunch of single engine turbine and Part 135 time, it wouldn't hurt to apply. All they can do is say no!
