CRJ New Hire Class @ XJT

[JettBoii]

Its for the upcoming pilot shortage.

 

[79%N1]

Its only 14 people. Attrition on FOs.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

It's in anticipation for an eventual flow-through with Delta.

Lol and lol again

Maybe some of those (16) 9E rejected -900's leases coming our way?

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

Hopefully during Indoc they tell these kids not to wear cowboy boots in the cockpit!

apparently we fired 5 FOs (<--- NOTE: NO APOSTROPHE) from the last batch. Mostly for stupid stuff (actual sick occurances, etc...). What the other 9 are for, I guess attrition from the FO side? No captains are leaving

No idea why they're firing/suspending everyone. Company is on the war path which to me seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot after admitting they have no resumes in the stack that meet the requirements. Plus they want these RFPs that are out and our performance has been abysmal at best with mainline partners getting pissed at us... nothing like shaking the beehive when they're already pissed.

Cochise! Have you heard the rumor about ASA getting extended over water ops for the fiddy? On top of that, it would be flying out of San Juan. HA!

DING DING DING for the 50 it's done.

Performance abysmal at best?

Is that a question as to what performance I was referring to? or the definition of abysmal? I'll do both...

Abysmal: a·bys·mal/əˈbizməl/
Extremely bad; appalling.
Adjective: Very deep.

On the United side we've had 112 cancellations in FOUR days!!! Half of the CRJs in IAD are broken, a:14 is somewhere in the 60th percentile. Very little of this has anything to do with pilots... weather has been a major problem and we can't seem to recover. I could go into an entire thesis as to how much we suck and the various reasons why but this isn't the thread for it.
