This year was no different, except for the fact that CC said no on double pay this year.

The Way the hiring is at SkyWest now, from what they told me, is that they r hiring for attrition. If that is true, they won't be able to get additional planes, as they won't have the pilots. I also doubt that Gojet could add additional planes...they won't be able to find pilots. That is the paradigm shift: Before the majors could move planes to the lowest bigger, and that regional could gin up pilots very quickly. Today there aren't thousands of guys sitting around with ATPs looking to fly.
