All WO MECs have been approached. Recruiting numbers have gotten slimmer and at least at PDT there are new hires in line that are not showing for class and recruiting is scrambling to fill the seats. Its not an emergency but its been noticed. Apparently...
Directive from Dallas is fill seats asap.. Dallas is acutely aware of the situation.

Looking through the seniority list, some classes in training have lost close to 20%... word is to places with better schedules and pay.
A computerized scheduling system with SAP like PSAs (without PBS strings attached) would fix the scheduling issues and a match of Endeavors TA would quickly fix this trend before it became a crisis. Hopefully AA acts before we池e having problems filling classes of two... again.

Most instructors as Skywest make 150-180. Still might not he enough to retain the experience. Would love to see $90/50 for first year pay here.

Im very curious what the training dept at envoy got upgraded to. Maybe pdt needs to think about the same thing for SOE capts and sim instructors... What would be a reasonable retention bonus to avoid new hires teaching new hires?

Been lurking here for a while. I知 at the point where I値l be applying to regionals in the next month or two. I read things like this about Piedmont and it makes me think twice about applying. Am I right to be concerned or is it like this at most regionals these days?

I was in transition class last month with new hires from July Indoc classes some of whom are in the sim now. So that would be roughly a 3 month sit in total.

Pick the regional that you don't have to commute too far for, makes you money or max time off as or allowed quick advancement.. only you can decide.
PDT was the right choice for me and we have a good future ahead of us.
