Its simple, lose a NET of 10 pilots a month (that is, if they can still hire 25-35 fools every month), means they have to give up flying, which is exactly what RAH has done. They are asking their partners to
reduce flying.
According to our CEO, the pilots are responsible for the state of RAH. We have handcuffed management
. This place is beyond help now.
Upgrades were 8 years, now 5 years, moving towards downgrades now.
Lifers (no ill-will towards you guys, you did what you had to do in this crappy industry), and fools who are getting hired today, please dont forget to turn out the lights.
Bless God!
2 Questions on that from a non-RAH person. Didnt Delta say they wanted to extend the -145 operations? Something like ~30 airplanes? Add the 50 175s for United, even with the parking of the Qs isn't that a net gain of airplanes?
Also, someone posted that only 41 of the 47 175s doing "American Eagle" will be flying this summer. Is this due to staffing (giving flying back to AAG) or just how the schedule worked out?
