I think some of the problem is that they have already hired hundreds of people who currently can't do anything besides stack tubs or stand around because they haven't received their 'academy' training and Neffy has stopped local training.

If they hire 4000 screeners today, background checks complete, it will take over a year-and-a-half before all of those screeners can actually do something productive. In the meantime, they're on the payroll but not able to do anything except stack tubs and collect a paycheck.

SEA asked for a special waiver to be allowed to use local training. They had a lot of new hires on the payroll who were useless because they were waiting for 'academy' training.
