Nordo,

I do not claim to have any better of a crystal ball than you do, but in the last hiring cycle where the airlines were hiring in significant numbers the Netjet's pilots were being snapped up by the majors faster than we could train new pilots.

Not sure why you think it would be any different these days.

Hey, you may be right. But just curious as to what's so different this time that you believe a Netjet's pilot being hired bythe majors will be the exception rather than the rule?

Hopefully it gets that good. I'd rather be a pic121, than a sic135. To start I think you'll see the cream off the top; 121 check airman, military, pic 121 large transport, pic 121. Then hopefully down the latter it goes. The front of the wave wont be stocked with NJ pilots. This assumes you want to go to a major.

Well, I dont know that it'll be like the last time. Probably not. But I also cant say we wont lose a great many pilots either.

NJA has a great many pilots with 121 PIC, or 121 check airman experience, as well as a ton of ex-military guys with PIC time in heavy equipment, many of whom are in the age range to make them attractive to the majors.

The only thing for certain is that it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

And I know a lot of sic's who fell for the santulli dream and left their 121 world before they acquired any significant pic time.

The only issue could be is if the regionals start to falter from staffing shortages. If that happens the majors may turn to Flex/options/NJA for pilots to minimize disruption to the mainline. Time will tell.

There is a whole world of heavy cargo, ex pat, military, regional, corporate, charter, fractional and everything in between, vying for a job at a Legacy....

Each group will experience attrition. My guess is regionals and the heavy freight/ overseas ex pat guys will see the most hiring initially. Followed by military and then the pt91/135/91k...

IMO Netjets will see some good attrition, maybe enough to facilitate an earlier than expected recall. The EMT has stated many times that their expected recall start timeline is 2017... I'm sure they were at least smart enough to factor in increased attrition into their plans, to go along with their disposal schedule.. ( which is what I think is the hinderence to recalls currently. The EMT knows the disposal schedule and has an idea of how many a/c they will have in future months/years.)

Maybe old news but just heard from a good buddy last night who works in training and he told me all displacements are on hold till March or April next year. I asked why and he did not know other than speculation and I am sure we can speculate as to why as well. Anyways I just thought that was interesting, no idea what it means though.

...no idea what it means though.

It means we're getting ipads....

 

[gunfyter]

Maybe means they can't afford the training float during busy season?

Bingo!

 

[billybob]

sounds right.

looks like they are bringing over some airplanes from NJE to fill in to help out as well.

look for some new tail #s or some NJE tails soon

Eurpean registered a/c? Is that easy to do?

 

[DC-4]

No it's not

 

[brokeflyer]

there's ways around it. Ill be suprised if it takes them longer than 5 days to change tail numbers. What about adding planes to a fleet already in disposal?
