NJA Home Based for Training ONLY?!?

Jan 2006 - 2254 pilots
May 2006 - 2444 pilots

Jan 2007 - 2608 pilots
May 2007 - 2656 pilots

Those two time periods look that they might indicate two things. The earlier 2006 period looks like perhaps a lot of pilots were excited about the new CBA. Then the 2007 period looks like the reality of the dumb-a-ciles and the long upgrade times has set in.

Thanks for the info, guys.

So if one came in at #2700, wouldn't there need to be around 4500 pilots on property before upgrade assuming the 60/40 ratio? That would mean 1800 more pilots at approx 300/yr. That would equate to 6 years for upgrade. This is assuming hiring remains constant and the attrition remains close to what it is now.

YES but I would go with a 70/30 ratio... and 4 yrs as SIC.

Bingo!

Bingo!

Here's hoping that the brain trust in Columbus and Woodbridge get the same message. They only need to make a simple decision that's already within their power to make in order to cut attrition and training costs and to attract the sort of experienced pilots that they want.

And before anyone asks, the company can open any domiciles or even give HBA to everyone on its own initiative. It's already in the current contract - no "union approval" needed.

If I got hired TODAY, I would plan on flying out of a domicile until at least 2010.

I would plan on being on SIC pay for at LEAST 5 years.
