Next round of 145s coming from another regional and envoy is having trouble getting them through heavy check as quickly as they were supposed to.

So they're slowing down deliveries a bit for the rest of the year? If we have 23 now, thats 8 more jets over 8 months...

The sim in CLT was certified by the FAA but still needs to be approved by our FSDO for our training program. That should happen any day now. Company just received approval to purchase another 145 sim which will also go in CLT.

The training log jam has shifted to SOE. 10 new SOE instructors are coming on board in the next few weeks and should be able to get things moving again.

Anyone privy to the response time from the company to applicants? I sent a recommendation in, and the prospect has submitted the app, but no news yet and it's been about a week.
