Ground schools are planned for approximately every 6 weeks until the end of the year so establishment numbers will be coming back up again. There are close to 12 FO's coming across from the Classic to the 400 in BNE which will reduce the workload among the 400 FO's and more evenly balance the workload between fleets.
I don't see the mass exodus continuing unless VA/JQ hire in big numbers soon. Not everyone wants to go to Cathay.
Plenty still taking call ins from where I'm sitting. Many ringing up crewing the day before looking for a bit of extra coin while they can and getting a shift more often than not.
Lack of FA's across most bases seems to be the reason for quite a few cancellations lately.
The general tone around the place seems to have changed after the roadshows given quite a large number went and most should have a better understanding of what the package is worth to them.
Make an INFORMED decision...
