Yes, we have covered the weight issue here already, but the part you're missing is that the ATP program CANNOT be part of the standard new hire training. It has to be done BEFORE and separate from that. So how many regionals are going to shell out the extra money for that program? I can tell you...
That last part came right from the final rule also. I agree as it is written that 121, 135, 141 and 142 can all offer the training, but it is also written that it cannot be absorbed into or be part of initial new hire training. Places like FSI already have these programs in place and have...
OK, I wasn't entirely correct from what I heard, but this is what I found in the rule. Basically it says that an air carrier can offer the course, but it cannot be part of initial or new hire training and therefore must be separate. Since the airlines are not in the business to offer 'flight...

At CAir the company reserved the car, you paid for it and later expense'd it and in most cases it was part of duty time. Depends if you over nighted in between.

Nov. seniority list is out now.. looks like 101 remaining and 10 FO's....for now. I can't imagine them not having at least a few downgrades..? who knows..
I know of 6 pilots coming off the seniority list within these last 2 weeks. Hopefully all can find something else before being put on the street. ( well, except for the managament minions and Kool-Aid drinkers )
