All pilots have now been given class dates for recall & they are planning on hiring 400+ over the next many years. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. DAL walks away from routes, AK picks them up and this isn't a violation of scope...WTH?
Baja.
WTH, is right...!! I do not want to take another hit on seniority. The growth for our codeshare partners is exponentially greater than ours. This is not right!
If we are anticipating many retirements, how come we aren't hiring, or worrying about hiring?<---This seems odd to me, unless RA wants a 8000 pilot work force. Why else would they shut down NATCO in the mist of a pilot shortage?
ALPA, you better be watching out for this.
