Talked to a 9E crew doing a HPN stand-up a couple months back and they said they don't have enough staffing to cover their current number of aircraft MINUS the ones they were losing to Mesaba. With that in mind, neither CA or FO had "any *******in' idea" where they were gonna find pilots to cover the 900s for Delta.
Were they ill-informed, or has that much changed in 60 days?
