How has been your training experience so far?? I’m currently a Cadet looking to start training sometime early next year.

I have nothing but great things to say about the PDT training department. My sim partner is a CA upgrade and he says it’s a night and day difference from when he went through initial a few years ago

Only if they can find a crew they can get to work on a day off to take it … they don’t have the staffing to fly the planes, that they’re parking because of staffing, out to the boneyard. 😂

Absolutely nuts... I remember the dash they moved some with the guys that retired but we're still current. Part 91.

Zero dog in this fight, but I just had a very close friend that was 100% all about that flow, finally bailed. Absolutely could not take it anymore. The things I’ve heard from him and what I read here. Wow. Absolutely nuts. I get it’s APC, but it’s not all BS. Pretty damn incredible given the market. Oh well. I’ll be surprised to see how this plays out. Unless your truly truly imminent to flowing, I can’t see how any AA WO truly keeps it together. There’s absolutely no way any WO is hiring more than they are losing to the Big 3 and LLCs.
