Questions and Answers

Question #1:

Can you please confirm the number of new hires and existing stewards you expect to train and the number of weeks you expect the training to span?

Answer #1 These numbers fluctuate, especially for the new hires. On average we bring about 80 to 100 new hire per year. The number of existing Stewards is approximately 230 (this total includes the new hires). Training sessions would span 2 weeks for each group, aligning with the 2-week rotation schedule we have. I expect the training is to be continuous to capture all crew can be divided into monthly or quarterly periods/seasons (i.e. 3 months on 1 month off for the training).

Question #2:

If (Company) were to win the contract we would likely want to rotate instructors over the course of the program. I noticed the RFP was asking for travel expenses for one person (Submittal Form G). Will you consider air travel and per diem for more than one individual over the course of the project or are you interested in only one individual for the length of the project?
