those RW Denver based pilots represent probably 2 months worth of hiring at what had been the current rate. And crap even up until a few weeks ago we were still losing 30 a month.... so even if that gets cut by 60% and the understaffing we are getting close to fixing...... it will be some short term pain...especially for the DEN guys who have to come back east..... but I think it will be a few days to a week before we see how this all starts to flow out.

Were the newhires let go, or place in a sort of pool for the future? I have a friend who was in a newhire class and today was day #2 for her. She got sent home (along with the rest) and is now a bit unsure of her future.
I am just wondering if anyone knows if they are in a pool or just done?

Geez... I didn't expect any of the 70+ seaters having issues with contracts but I am sure this is F9's issues leading to this and not a performance and/or cost issue on RAH's fault. I am curious how my bride and I will be effected since we are supposed to fly frontier to mexico on our honeymoon. We go MEM-DEN on Republic then connect to F9 to mexico.

The word around FSI STL was that they were given $960 per diem and told they will get preferential hiring. All new hire classes were not cancelled, only the one that started on Monday. The 2/28 and 3/25 classes are normal (except for the 3/25 RW class, which is now starting indoc for S5 tomorrow).

So if I understand this correctly, someone who started yesterday or Monday is on the street and someone who starts tomorrow still has a job? Huh? That sounds a bit odd. But it may be the way it is.
