P.S. Either I haven't been keeping up or you've been quiet lately. Anything interesting in the pipeline? Upgrades coming anytime soon? New airplanes/bases?

I like your optimism but a year or two ago at an AQP ALPA lunch, cockRoach and some other top level guys were going around telling everyone at least a year for integration.
The time starts the day a TA is ratified. And it's about 6 months. It's all spelled out in the T&PA.

If I were a betting man (which I am not) I would put 5 bucks up saying it will be longer than 120 days. Don't get me wrong; I would love to have a good contract and fair integration tomorrow. I just don't think we are close to that.

Any news about interviews?

I thought they had a few lined up at the end of the month, are they still happening?

Just interviewed this week. Should hear results hopefully in a few days. There are 2 scheduled class dates in February but not sure if they were full or cancelled. They told us the earliest we could start would be March if hired. Still hiring into the CRJ side. Reserve time is about 1 year and the most junior base fluctuates between IAD and DTW right now. Great company, everyone was very friendly and welcoming during the whole interview process.

I would say IAD is the most junior and DTW just barely more senior.

People will tell you ATL went really junior on the 200 side, but that was sort of a fluke and won't stay like that very long.

Good to hear they are still doing classes!

I hope those class dates will remain, but as I said earlier, I just came through recurrent and was told point blank; All hiring stopped pending the results of the Pinnacle TA. I do hope my instructor was just mistaken. By the way, my temporary ATP has the same VMC circling only restriction that the CRJ type has. Is that limitation going to be on my permanent license? If so, that's shenanigans. It's not an unrestricted ATP!
