Same with crappy pay...... Those that will continue to have bad pay and a bad contract won't get people. You think CommutAir got a better contract by the goodness of there heart. hahahahahaha They(management) knew they were having a tuff time getting anyone to come.
PSA/Piedmont will see if they continue to get people. As of right now however there still filling classes.
The regionals need to take Pay For Training (PFT) to the next level. The regionals should increase first year pay to a livable level. To compensate for the increase cost, the regionals should reinstitute PFT for new hires. That way, the new hire would get a livable first year wage and the regional would get their cost increase offset by having the new hire PFT.
