These pilots who are waiting on American to hire, have been waiting since 2001. And now with a route overlap of USAirways the consolidation will shrink American even more, and cause these losers to wait until 2021 for a job. Meanwhile, NK, JB & VX will grow and fill the voids in the market. Swamp will get downgraded to FO, while he watches his peers upgrade to Captain at these airlines. About the time Pinnacle goes completely out of business, he will be watching his peers bid for A-330's.
That was the impression before we took concession but deffinitely not the case now. The new writing on the wall is growth, expansion and Delta rebranding us into their image. We will be hiring in the fall with upgrades to follow according to the union and company.
To leave or not to leave? It depends on your information. There are no guarantees either way. Going to Spirit would not be a bad move but choosing to stay wouldnt be either in my opinion. WE are exiting Bankruptcy May 1, not shutting down or furloghing.
Stay tuned for more!!!
