At 4 a month, the upgrade flood is over. Righting the ship today will still mean no noticeable results for months. PSA was gambling on buying someone or someone going bankrupt. They gambled and lost. Time to pay.
I disagree. If they change it in the next few months there will be no problem. Reason for saying this is because just look at the march lines. We are still slightly overstaffed, and they could easily build much more efficient lines. If they do this they will have no issue going another few months on the pilots currently on property. I do agree, however, that if they don't do anything soon, then there will be a big issue. PSA, Envoy, and PDT management are puppets though. AAG sees the numbers concerning everything. They know the issues. They came down on payroll and scheduling back when delays from crew swaps and pay discrepancies were incredibly high. They know the hiring issues happening at the WOs. Ultimately it's up to them to pony up and fix the issue.
