A couple of reasons for this. There has been a steady stream of attrition, mostly ex twa recalls, and a legacy hire. And g4 has steadily increased flying out of the florida bases. When we use to have management meetings (coffee corners and base meetings), the pilots constantly complained about the lack of staffing. PTOs are a joke, reserves are used almost every single day, leaving no actual reserves.

G4 management gaffed us off. What’s been stated before, the top of g4 are venture capitalist, who hate pilots. A lot of this mess is due mostly to their ego’s. You aren’t telling me what to do..

All new comers need to beware we will be hiring. If you look at where our fleet numbers are trending, its obvious we wont be net positive aircraft. It will be neutral, negative, or negligible. For example, the 75s are for sale. G4 took a good airplane and cheaped out on the mx, and turned the 75 into a looser. So, we will soon have displacements of those pilots to look forward to.

Attrition should increase, but it won’t make your life appreciably better anytime soon.
