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!

That's what I figured. I just thought I had read a few months back, that the NPRM for 8/2013 required an unrestricted ATP. I guess I am wrong. I always knew the type would have that restriction, but it just sucks to see it on your ATP.

Everyone who upgraded on the CL-65 has that restriction, since we don't circle below 1000'. Those of us who upgraded on the ATR or Brasilia don't have it since we demonstrated a circling approach ti minimums on our ATP ride. But our CL-65 type is restricted. Either way, it means nothing. You don't "really" have a "restricted ATP". I seriously doubt mainline guy are circling to minimums in 777s either.

He's referring to the vacancy bid CT mentioned for "early 2013". We've hired almost 200 FOs since last October and upgraded about 40 captains. It's nice to have easy schedules but it'd be nicer if they upgraded more...

I really hope the company holds the seat lock for once. Everyone received the Min/Max email before the bid opened and they should have been able to figure out that the difference in the 200 prelim had to be picked up by new hires. This company doesn't need to be spending any more money training pilots that can't even figure out a Min/Max and "accidentally" went to the 700. That just gives them more incentive to say they have continuous operating costs that justify not giving us raises in the JCBA.
