The number is 14 new SOE instructors.. also working to get the hours to replace cycles.

At least that's what heard.. I've heard many wrong things.

Default Upgrades

I'm betting with slowed jet deliveries, and Dash retirements staying on schedule upgrades will be Dash crews only. :-/ Thoughts?

That sort of seems to be the the plan already. They're taking very few of the bypassed jet FOs and moving them into classes with displaced Dash guys. At least bypass pay is a thing in the interim.

While they're bypassing jet FOs for upgrade now, I wouldn't count on anything sticking around long. Things are happening/changing so fast here that next month could look completely different. The only thing you can count on is lots of growth and quick movement. The rest is a crapshoot

Aircraft retirements and pilot transitions never go smoothly. Keep the big picture in mind- you're building your resume for a major airline while moving up in seniority via a flow at a rate unimaginable in the industry even a few years ago.

Does getting bypassed for upgrade suck when you were expecting to get it? Yes, but try not to let it jade you...

I show 32 on my official scorecard. This is up from 30 confirmed tails just a month ago. They're coming kids...

Saw someone posted about August classes being canceled. I'm getting close to my hours and plan on putting my app in very soon. Anyone know if any classes in July are still available? Wouldn't like having to wait until September for a class date.

Its worth a shot to try. Worst case you take a Sep class and tell them you will take a earlier one if a slot opens.

As far as I know, all of June and July classes were filled during my interview unless a spot opens up.
