Look at all the pilot groups making huge gains right now. And yet you people still love to come over here and beat that same little tired drum you love to beat.
I think he's saying this last deal created a conflict of interest for mgnt to upgrade more pilots. The more they upgrade the more will flow making their problems worse, so the fix is to, more than ever, upgrade as few as possible. The flow is not a recruiting tool, it is a retention tool. I haven't talked to a single captain that's been here longer than two years that is even considering leaving.
