Those extra block hours are temporary for August and September as Delta is dealing with replacing the Shuttle lift out east. And you fail to mention Express Jets reduced presence in Detroit to SkyWest and GoJet. How can you in good conscience tell people that everything will be grand and wonderful if you sugar coat everything and step up recruiting efforts? SkyWest is going to be SkyWest. I'm not sure why you can't see that
Yep, I'm a lifer of 5 years here. We are only doing short term flying contracts, nothing more. Movement at other places have stopped or slowed down. Some of them, cannot even staff what they have taken on for that quick movement.
Detroit has only been reduced by about 20 flights per day. Who knows what will happen with Detroit, but management knows that they will lose quite a bit of pilots if DTW closes down.
I'm not sugar coating anything. Show me a regional that is doing so great and all the pilots are happpy. Guess what, all the regionals suck. It's what you make of it. This place isn't as bad as many others out there.
