New rostering program (Jeppesen) soon to be implemented.most probably from January or February
GACA authorized the CCQ for the 320-330 transition .
New joiners who are type rated in SV types will not have to do the type rating again.
No more Jepp updates
: iPad usage starts from the E-170 next month and within the next 2-3 months (they say 6 weeks but I double it for obvious reasons
) all the fleets will use the Jepp application on the iPad.
140 pilots got hired from MAS.
New hotel for the new joiners . Shared accommodation in a 180m suite (each individual with his own bedroom plus hotel transportation to the Academy)
Houses allocation is now based on the day of joining . New joiners do not visit the housing department in S.City for choosing their house but only to get registered. Allocation is being made from a new manager on the FLT ops as there were many complaints as people with 6-10 months in JED were stuck in the Hotel and other people with 3-6 weeks got a house.
That's all folks
