All I know is the ink has been dry on this contract for over a year and we have fewer pilots than we did a year ago.
80 (additional) airframes + retirements starting = 300 pilots needed, something doesn't add up?
Just in the past year, over 200 pilots are no longer on the seniority list. So we still have not backfilled those with new hires.
