There are now just under 100 people on the training list. They have more names than positions required. Let’s face it the training ban is no more. The AOA is like the deer in the headlights. As the guys get their letters, they are resigning from the AOA. The company is now offering an alternative loss of income insurance, which will drive even more people to leave. The TB has now become a liability to the AOA, and they have no idea how to get rid of it as some radical GC members, seam to think it still has some leverage. Just about every guy I’m flying with is thinking about quitting the AOA, as it has become totally irrelevant. The SO”s are now looking at 5 years before an upgrade and they are pleased with the increase in training captains, so are a lot of FO”s who are waiting for a command. There is a reason why the AOA is not returning the levy, as they know a lot of members will quit if they do.
