Hey guys, im new to the forum. I had my interveiw on December 20th. I was offered the job and received an e-mail saying to expect an April CRJ-900 class. Iv been reading up on some of the other post, and have not seen anyone mention the april class. Also it sounds normal to be waiting a few months to start training, and then also wait another 2 months to begin the sim training right?

Hot off the press.
Voluntary TOWOP for the month of March..........
All Saab positions, 10 CA's and 20 FO's pretty equal in all bases.
Last time I saw one of these, bad things followed.

This is a complete guess...but TOWOP probably = Time Off WithOut Pay
Probably a cost cutting measure because training is backed up and deliveries might be backed up. I don't see the doom and gloom with this....just some accountants trying to suppress some of the training slack. But....this is just my guess.

Not dumb at all. It's actually kind of sad that the top half of the list here at XJ are all too familiar with this abbreviation.
TOWOP = Time Off WithOut Pay
As of right now, it's nothing to get too worked up about. I would imagine they are trying to adjust for our slight over-staffing in the Saab and to give our maxed out training center a chance to catch up. My experience is never to get too comfortable in this industry, things like this are a reminder why.

Oh God lets hope we don't have a repeat of 2005 all over again. I like how the company releases this stuff without an explanation, not like its our livelihood or anything.
