If not, they will struggle to staff in the coming years and Delta will be able to cancel their flying due to that. If you think I said that because I'm a Endeavor pilot, I'm not, just stating what is likely to occur with the current dynamics of what Delta is doing with Endeavor and the compensation/movement package.
Being cheap won't secure the future in this pilot staffing market. The regional that offers a compensation/movement package near Endeavor's will be the only type that will survive. And to achieve that level of compensation/movement, their mainline partners will need to pay them far more than they are now. Republic is already finding that hard to accomplish.
No matter how much the Gojet cheerleaders will lead you to believe, Gojet is no where near that. It was founded on the idea to subvert the TSA pilot group on decent 70-seat payrates and staffed with TSA pilots out of seniority. If you honestly think an airline founded on that premise will change, you're sorely mistaken.
No I think you said that because there is a rumor floating around your message boards that 9E is taking our -700's. Look at Republic with the Delta suit.....they're still flying aren't they? The flying just doesn't go away overnight.
