Moak is a Joke, once he is gone I hope the whole "no shortage" mentality is gone with him.
A kid wanting to fly can not get financed to go to flight school, so eventually no one will show up for class, meanwhile guys will move up to empty seats at mainline. Call it what you want but flights will get canceled.

We all came to regionals, because mainline doesn't hire direct entry very often. Like regionals or not they provide a lot of available seats. We don't fly 300 pax over the pond but we may fly 50 x 6 legs in a day.

We couldn't fund a stand alone union. We have numbers but value is low due to % of low wages.
