I don't get it.
It is not just salary. Training costs, bumping costs (paid moves, PS passes, etc). This will be dragged out 2 years longer than if they had started the bumping last year.
Obviously, management doesn't either.
All the old staffing guys who were putting out those pre-SLI vacancies are gone. Civitello and Papaleo are LUAL crew planners. They run staffing now.
