We have 12 or less of your crappy planes that weren't apart of the deal that was signed. No one knew.
Y'all signed your contract for more shiny jets too and your industry leading retention bonus with a "me too" clause for when we get something better.
Let's see...
15 to Xjet = 97.5 CA seats
15 TSA = 97.5 CA seats
12 PSA = 78 CA seats
20 Compass = 130 CA seats
3 PDT so far = 19.5 CA seat
Total = 422.5 CA Seats lost since Jan 2014
With those numbers all the guys until about half of 2011 hires were supposed to be CAs by 2013. Which it also match the 2012 PSA guys that are CAs now...
All because PSA couldn't stand together. It was a snow ball effect related to the contract war between AAG and envoy fighting to keep the BK contract.
What all this accomplished? A couple of things...
-as the envoy pilots said before, neither TSA, RAH, PSA, PDT can't staff the flying. It took 2 years and pilot shuffling from regional to regional, but is here.
- AAG loss 1,200 pilots between flow, guys moving to other regionals and LCC at envoy.
- AAG now is giving money for people to come at us + the retention bonus. Also the money they still own 3/4 of the FOs here (5k in 2017, by the 2014 contract).
-AAG moving flying back to envoy, due to others unable to staff their contracts.
-People preffering to go RAH, Mesa, TSA, Commutair. Instead of coming at PSA/PDT/ENY.
