Or are we approaching the end of the hiring cycle?
never said the whole airline is over staffed. Jet side of things are still hurting badly. However the ATR side to me seems very overstaffed, as mentioned above most ATR rsv guys are averaging 10 hours a month. I had a 7 hour month in July out of MIA.

Good to hear flysooner... I am trying to get on board! No luck so far with my low times (830/51).

I only have the gold boeing key... is that the one?
No, it's a key you'll get when you do your base visit. There's another door close to the security check point where you don't need a key. However,I'm not about to post on a public forum that door or it's means of entry. Try checking on JetNet -> AE Pilots & "Base Info" for DFW. Lots of useful info there.

A properly staffed airline isn't supposed to use many reserves. The ATR staffing is fine if you ask me, although my last few months on it I wasn't able to drop ANYTHING!

Jet side is still super short. Fortunately with the reduction in recall class sizes at AA, Eagle should be able to catch up before the next batch of FTs go (which looks to be December now). Then maybe we can get PVDs and drop/trade requests approved for once.

I don't know Andy. December isn't that far away. I'm going to go with no soup for you! 2 weeks!

Company pays for the class and provides transportation. I am on my own for hotel and expenses for the week. After passing the ATP class I would get scheduled for a training class and get paid.

why for OCT are there so many FO TDYs from DFW to JFK but 2 less lines? Are we going to have 20 guys on reserve in a base that has 26 lines? That sounds stupid.

How's Eagle doing meeting their hiring projections? I've heard the pool of qualified/trainable applicants is starting to dry up for them

Been hearing that since spring. Doubt it will be a problem with the lowered minimums.

Wow, that's no good so what's the failure rate over there?
