Maybe we are not getting new flying but hiring like mad because they realize we are going to lose a bunch of people quick?
Kinda makes me wish KB was still around so we could remind him of his message about the low attrition due to job satisfaction. Was it job satisfaction or the fact that nobody was hiring??
Sounds like you want people to stay? The broken regional airline model won't be fixed by lifers sticking around. Get in, try to get out, and go to a real company where it's a career of you never upgrade.
If you can't retire as a FO at a regional, you're not at a career, it's akin to a decent fast food place like Five Guys. Decent food but still, not a place to show you've made it.
