If they were really desperate, they would make Critical Pay a higher percentage.
Now let's talk about something exciting!!!
Since the current vacancy is only for FOs, will they backfill an FO position if a DTW or MSP a FO moves to LAX?
When is the next CA upgrade vacancy coming?
I don't think anyone's worried. It's just more frustrating than anything. It's something that is completely preventable. The big wigs sit there and twiddle their thumbs while we are expected to work harder to cover their inadequacies. Shuttle and ASA cancel almost daily due to pilot shortages. Even the mighty SKW is canceling due to no pilots available. It's happening everywhere. Check it out on DLnet.
I bet they do backfill MSP or DTW FOs. I and I bet the next captain upgrade vacancy comes out within a week of this current vacancy closing.
