Same goes for any JV's. Just come out and say hey this is good for the company but it is going to hurt you guys but we need to do it for the shareholders or something. Sneakiness leads to distrust.
There are a number of reasons we have not hired since 2010. Mil leave returnees have come back in larger numbers than expected, pilots are flying max hours, making us overstaffed. If every line holder flies ALV +15, we drastically reduce the number of pilots needed. My category NYC 7ER A, is pretty well overstaffed right now, as are the FO's.
