The company is making money hand over fist. However it is on the backs of the woefully underpaid FOs and FAs.

The only thing holding upgrades back is the lack of FOs to fill the right seats (can't move over if there is nobody to sit next to you). I think that if you are hired on right now your upgrade time will be about 3-4 years depending on aircraft. We do not have any future growth planned because we cannot even staff what we have.

As for the C-series - its anybody's guess. Personally I think BB will try to sell the slots before we get them or he plans to have us fly them point to point in the U.S. for some foreign carrier. Don't plan on ever setting foot in one. Bombardier does not have enough orders, are extraordinarily behind schedule and over budget. All of this is for another thread.

To be completely honest I will be surprised if RAH even exists in its current form 5 years from now...minus Chautauqua which has already been announced.
