• Salaries, wages, & benefits

• On a per ASM basis, “juniority” benefit helps mitigate inflationary cost pressures



So basically they're telling investors they expect to keep hiring new guys, we hope the senior guys keep quitting before they get expensive, and low pay will continue for the foreseeable future. Once again, nice to confirm where they're headed and their expectations on negotiations. And double-nice to know they really don't mind high hire/quit churn and would rather keep training up new bus pilots than make any attempt to keep the ones they've already trained.



I'm sure the chief pilots are thrilled by this mgt priority focus, since everyone quitting as soon as possible is such a big part of their business plan, it now gets 4 bullets on 2 separate investor slides.



Maybe company mgt is actually encouraging the ALPA career seminars? That would be funny.
