Thanks

They need the CQFOs online as soon as possible to cover the initial flying and the FOs that have the time going to upgrade. They also need the CQFOs to get off green/high minimums as soon as possible so they aren't limiting their options for crew pairings due to green on green or bad weather. When growing as much as Trans States is, you will easily run into problems with green on green issues with so many new pilots coming online in a short period of time. CQFOs can also allow the company to cover the same amount of flights with fewer reserves because they can sit in both seats.

Just heard they are having a Jan. 14th class start? Is it full and does anyone know what the breakdown (CQFO/FO) will be?

Honestly they would be stupid not to. Plus, we will be able to staff FOs because I would put money on someone furloughing or shutting down this year.

I HIGHLY doubt there will be a furlough.

XJT? Endeavor? I mean Endeavor is downgrading and XJT loses all 145s in the next 2 years. That is like 260 ish aircraft. Don't think attrition will be that high.

XJT isn't losing all 145s in 2 years. By that logic, TSA would lose half of theirs in a few years too. All Regionals would be a year from furlough. United isn't going to park 260 RJs in two years
