Because they’re finally running out of applicants.
Rowdy don’t you work at Jazz? You should know we’re very overstaffed right now, especially with the Voyageur LOA being announced.
It’s not a case of running out of applicants.
The voyageur LOA is there because they simply cannot find people for the african contracts with the UN. There is specific time requirements for those and not many dash and rj pilots around looking for work. Very easy to use a bunch of your own..
We have a huge number of people in the training environment with a lack of sim availability.. That came right from the source. While we do carry a significant amount of extra crews right now, that will change very quickly in the fall when AC continues to take from us. A memo came out today about it. I also imagine it will be a BUSY summer and the extra crews will be needed. Even More so if WJ does move to strike.

Does anyone know the equipment bid for the September class?
Almost all RJ. I think there was 8 or 9 in the class and 5 or 6 of them got RJ. 1 Q for sure but I don’t know about the rest. Sorry for the not very specific numbers
Yes there was an October 1st class. 8 I believe and all RJ and Q. Not sure where.
There will be a Nov and December class from what I've heard. As for next year sounds like 150-200 pilots to be hired. Rough estimate based on attrition to AC.

We won't find out exactly until Nov. 5. However, based on recent ground schools and where the internal movement appears to be, I'd assume this class will again skew quite heavily toward the RJ.
