Pitt, did you not just get hired a few months ago?
I sure hope you have an inside reliable source for that, otherwise it’s pretty irresponsible to make statements of facts that may not be accurate!

Ground schools are not populated by total time, we have had many with less than the time stated and some with vastly more experience. Next class is in August (full) and their should be more to come in the fall from what I've heard. Lots of planning behind the scenes right now with the Sunwing integration, sop review, and training requirements with allocation of resources. With an original integration date of October now pushed to next spring, classes had originally been planned further apart. Recent FO posting published July 1 should mean more classes on the horizon.

Stand by for new ATIS

Is the recent FO posting for the Encore Q400 position or mainline? I don’t see a mainline job posting on their site

Hiring is slowing down. So they can be more picky.
