very substantial slow down and I’m shocked it isn’t being talked about more (yet.) Can’t keep CoPilots so can’t upgrade as you take away from the ranks of FO’s. But as Miller said CFI’s are on the way to the right seat so it shouldn’t be too long.

we can even go Great Lakes style and have FO’s who have their 1500 do their training and take their ATP check ride in the aircraft at 2AM while it RON at that station.

Does anyone know what attrition looks like right now at Frontier, JetBlue, etc? Curious.

Obviously we’re fat on CAs right now and short on FOs. They want to balance that first. So reduced upgrades for the next 6-7 months.

Ok, Bendo.

We're short on FOs and fat on FO vacancies.

If only there were some other part of the attrition equation the company could address. Perhaps even with an MOU or some other alphabet soup term prior to agreeing to a new contract in 4 years.
