With current delays folks have been experiencing?

8-11 months from Indoc to OE complete
17-20 months averaging 50-60 hours a month of actual flying (factoring cancellations, displacements and deadheads etc.)
3-6 months from start to completion of OE for captain.

28 to 37 months at current training backlog rates give or take.

Note: that timeline may actually increase a good bit as the training backlog clears and NH FOs start sitting reserve for decent periods of time. There’s about 120 in training that need the full 1000hrs.

19 new hires for the September class...but the seniority list grew by just 6 people. I love it.

Are we ever going to flow 7 a month? I don't see how/why we would grow unless we are getting more planes. Something to consider for new hires.

If were a late 2016 hire and had an offer from Kalitta, would you take it or wait it out for a legacy or the flow?

Goto Kalitta hands down. If you like their rosters then the place is great according to a few buddies currently working there.

I’ve had a few ex Kalitta guys now in legacies jump seat lately.

Money today is better than money tomorrow...

Let me clarity that.. if you can make 100k this year... 150k next year.. that's money in your pocket today that you are investing in your future... not wide body captain pay 20 years from now...

Make your money today.. not on promises tomorrow.. make sense?

If you can live with the 2 on 2 off... which i could, get out of this place. Its slowly killing u.
