Working great. Pilots should hurry and hop on before such a great opportunity disappears.

Soon someone will furlogh then we won't need to offer the program anymore.

There was going to be a flow with United a year ago. Then suddenly it vanished.

This. What I heard is the terms of the flow were not going to help anyone, the pilots or the company so it fell apart.

Glad to hear things seem to be going well. I wonder how many more CQFO classes they'll offer? With both January classes being full, I'm thinking the word is out and people are jumping on the opportunity. Whats the CQFO - FO breakdown of the current December classes?

Ah, so basically it was like every other flow in the industry. Got it.
