Lmao...what dude??!! I think you have me confused with someone else bro. This is a forum for discussion. What I brought up is for rational discussion. From what I see you post on here, you seem like a complete douche clown. And you bet I would say it to your face if I knew who you were.

I personally know of close to a dozen of my own CFI friends that passed on us to go somewhere else solely on the fact that our minimums were so high. With the news this week, they now regret that decision.

I'll start worrying when we are canceling dozens of flights due to staffing. Initially we should be fine… late summer/early fall may be another story, but only time will tell.
True that. I also recommend pilots I know to come here. Time will tell, but I hope we can pull it off.

If it hasn't been mentioned, we've been told 27 people slated for the March 9th class. I know they are in the process of filling the 3 April classes

I can't say that sounds like they're having issues filling classes. April is over a month away.

I have a feeling things will pick up once the first CQFOs get out there and fly a PIC. Especially if the bypassed FOs open a few full time PIC slots. That would be the best advertisement TSA can give itself if the first classes get captain slots within a few months of hitting the line (even if the subsequent classes aren't nearly that lucky).

See why can't you have that kind of attitude in your previous posts. And btw come up with better insult than a douche clown. You're a pilot for goodness sake.

That has to be the single biggest class we've had so far? I've been a little out of the loop on the training front, but it sounds like we have been putting a steady 25 - 30 plus through each month? If that is indeed the case..plus the initial numbers for March… I'd say we are off to a very good start on staffing this and/or more.

The first Feb class has 19 people and second Feb class has 14 (about 50/50 CQFO/FO), and the FIRST Mar class has 27, second class unk so far. I guess that could grind to a halt, but recruiting's program was working even before the 2500 hr upgrade announcement.

Somebody asked earlier about training completion- it seems that the only way to fail is to throw a wild, drunken party and trash the hotel. Several got pink slips for that recently. A few others flagged their oral, but got do-overs (probably with associated PRIA paper work) and made it to the line.

Yes by far the biggest class so far. Mine is currently at 19 and we were slated for 20. They have been putting through 30-35 so far per month. That looks to increase both for March and April (assuming they can fill the three classes in April). Everyone in my class has previous 121 experience, military, or corporate experience

Still a LONG way to go to staff all the flying.

Not bad. Those are hiring numbers, when I got hired on in mid 2013. Glad we are still pumping out positive numbers.
