Could it be because they are getting the FedEx CRJ contract?

BWWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

You gonna keep throwing this up for fun in all the forums for a while?

We are all suckers. With the 15 planes parked and the cancellation of more deliveries it let most of the FO's get the total time to become qualified. The 250 pic waiver also put the qualified guys back quite a bit. It will be years before a new hire upgrades even if NWA lets us keep the flying we have.

Welcome to our lives... Street CA's and new-hire F/O's were fed the same load of crap when we came here in Feb-June of 2001. Same thing happened, 9/11 came, no new deliveries or upgrades for 6 months, and F/O's got the time (and they fixed the training program so people could get through it without a bunch of jet experience to fall back on).

Last upgrade award closed in the mid 600's of the seniority list of about 1,300 pilots. About 4-5 Captains leaving each month = 60 CA's needed per year for attrition. You do the math.

Don't recommend this place unless you are from DTW, MSP, or MEM.

Absolutely.
