I heard a rumor through Aviaiton Interviews that training at Republic is starting to back up, and that people are already being told not to expect to go to class until mid summer. Also, that there were starting to build a surplus of FO's Is there truth to those rumors? I just applied a couple days ago.....
 
Some recent classes have been cancelled. FOs seem to be going into a pool now, how deep that is I don't know. I would expect hiring mins to go back up to around ATP times and previous 121 prefered. (That's just my quess)
 
They are so backed up that classes are running twice/day - a morning slot that ends mid afternoon, then another class which ends after midnight!
Sounds like we are trying to push as many thru the pipeline as possible, but can't get the classroom/sim slots in the required volume.

I second the compliment on your avatar...nicely done!
 
We're not running the split shift at the moment(finished that after about 6 days of it), just during the overlap when one class is begining before the previous class is done. I think the sim is getting a little backed up due to the volume of people that have been going thru training.

The cancelled classes so far have been on the CHQ side, I personally don't know of any RW or S5 cancellations. I could be wrong though. One of the guys in my class originally had a CHQ class, but it was cancelled and they put him into my class at RW.

I have heard of guys getting class dates into April and May from recent interviews, and Flight Safety is still expecting to train new hires and upgrades in the near future.
 
Well, thanks for the info everyone who replied. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. Also, thanks for the avitar adoration; what can I say, you can't go wrong by anything that involves Billy Dee and a fine malt liquor.
