Odd to be hiring after the summer boom. Unless?
I think the problem was that they needed the instructors out on line for the summer schedule.
Some of the spots will have to be offered to UAL furloughs who will get bumped to second year RJ FO pay with the difference paid by UAL or ALPA (not sure exactly who pays). $35/hr. Wouldn't it be nice if Skywest Inc offered that same deal to furloughed Skywest Inc pilots....
I think this is the first or many examples to come of why all of us Inc pilots need to put aside the fears of some and start pushing for one seniority list. Maybe the xjet contract will force it.
