Good luck getting out everyone.
It's like this is everyone's first airline. Did you really think management was going to just give us a 50% raise on our amendable date?
It's a growing airline that sells it's own tickets and makes lots of money. Should you apply elsewhere, maybe... but it's not all doom and gloom.
The ULCC business model works. If you need an international planning room and gate agents that have been with the company for 35 years then this isn't the place for you.
That being said I'm not a low cost pilot and will not vote for anything less than industry pay rates.
