Just don’t forget, that ‘200k’ is always, ‘just down the road’. And management is laughing all the way to the bank as they keep dragging that carrot by a string.

HA. It's true, there's a TA coming. But no one will see it for a couple of weeks. Until then it's all wishful thinking.

And he’s saying you’re giving the captain too much credit here. What kind of stall probably didn’t cross their minds.

The FOs might be on easy-street right now, but the CAs are ridden hard and put away wet. And "a lot defer flow" is a hell of a stretch. A few involved in training at the most. Also: There have also been a few incidents of folks applying for Encore, but then getting asked if they'd be interested in m...

Ha. And last year it was WJ that was going to buy AT. Gotta love all the rumours in aviation...

A single vane failure did not bring down an aircraft.

Yes but obviously it was a big hole in the swiss cheese that shouldn't have been there.

My best guess is there is a glut of FOs they are waiting to meet the matrix for upgrade. Captains are in short supply and they are the ones flowing to mainline as well. I’m surprised they aren’t hiring more DECs (though maybe there are none left).

Coupled with the apparent hypocrisy of WJ/Encore pilots being absolved of "lowering the bar," makes for one messy and convoluted double standard. I don't know about hypocrisy on this board, but to be fair most pilots at Encore do not want to support the conditions at Swoop. Like said before, there ...

2-3 years ago, I would've said Encore. Now you'd be crazy not to go to Jazz. Who knows, maybe that'll flip again in another few years. At least you have a choice!

Everyone is ignoring the bait about experience, but obviously, yes, it is SOP to increase to 1020/max in severe ice. Doesn’t work all that well always, or it comes off unevenly.

Droptanks your post is confusing. You seem to think Flow and the One List are 'kinda the same thing', then proceed to explain that they are not. They are not the same at all. And it is far from a done deal. Flow is just hiring. The company can hire from wherever. Those who flowed before the new cont...

I assume they are having trouble holding on to instructors like most places around the country, and they have to prioritize. Really, they are going back to how they did it before (minus the floats, which is the real sad part). Just ask to do as much hood and sim time as you can throughout your time ...

Flow and the one list are separate issues. They can still pick a flow rate, while making seniority worth zip. I would guess the main reasons for the delay are the company lawyers, leverage with encore bargaining, and also the difficulty it creates in recruiting for Mainline and Swoop. Harder to find...

I often wondered how much of a factor insurance was in the mix. Do rates skyrocket with more 250 hr FOs? Or is it a question of total time in the cockpit to an insurance company?

Nope. Next meeting is in the coming week. Management just keeps saying 'it's complicated'... all while they refuse to negotiate on any other meaningful terms with Encore. Feels like we've been down this path before recently...

Further, any new hire will not know what positions are available upon the employment offer. You may very well find out in ground school that you're off to Swoop. I can’t believe that’s how they’re hiring. The old bait and switch? The trap is set indeed. Similar to when Encore first started...

Likely the ads are just temporarily down. They will always be hiring for the foreseeable future.

Any pilot hiring problem will manifest itself at WJE and WJ Link well before WJA. That's already here... Guys are dropping like flies and there's hardly any one to replace them with. WJ is in the precarious position of having to hire more and more OTS, at the expense of guys at Encore by turning of...

How much longer is this circus going to continue. Do the moderators really not care about the quality of this site whatsoever? Or are there any mods. What good is it doing the forums when someone can make account after account...

My god, give it up man. Find a new hobby. Or go create six more handles to argue with yourself, either way. The one list is staying. How much more of your life do you need to waste spreading hate against alpa while cut and pasting the same thing over and over?

I believe the coming phraseology says 12hrs prior to any duty, including pre flight duties, to be more exact. So 12hrs to whatever your report time is. I too will miss the opportunity to have a beer with the crew at the end of the day, what with more and more min rest these days...

If you have a pulse, welcome aboard. Oh, and I guess the drug test mentioned above...

I think they would rather park a quarter of the planes before that happens.

His Caps lock may be stuck.. but he's not too far off the mark.
