I heard the first March class only had two people... And was pushed back/cancelled... I think that problem with staffing is already here.. I haven't had one trip go as a planned the past two months due to coverage and I've been doing extra almost every trip, due to pilot coverage...

My buddy who went through in December had 10-15 or so in his class - he finally went to the sim this past week...

"Crew planning" did it again... Junior Manned a captain on his last trip before he flowed. This happens too regularly to be coincidence. Though that shouldn't surprise anyone that knows the pilot hating person who runs planning.

Crew scheduling's job is to fill any open flying, if you think they are out there to get some specific individual, I can assure you that's not the case. Some of them don't even know who's flowing and who's not. The amount of open flying currently out there is the most I ever seem since my time here.

There is a pattern with pilots leaving getting the bye bye JRM. Is what it is. ALSO... if you haven't been here long enough to see "someone get, got." By planning then you wouldn't know, and I don't hold it against you, planning tag someone they don't like.
As much as I love PDT, and I do, scheduling and planning need work. The man that runs planning is a monster. And if they believe you've wronged them...sick...fatigue... Whatever...

Man, I am glad to hear that envoy isn't the only airline with this problem. At envoy, our monster is name Jane. A real treat to talk to on the phone. The only way I can liken it, it is like being on the Jerry Springer Show. I don't know where they find these people.
