its really a catch 22, we have to slow upgrades because we can't attracted enough FO's, but by increasing upgrades times we are making it even harder to get newhires in the door. Its really a no win situation and like several people have already said, until the company steps in and sweetens the pot for potential newhires things will only continue to go down hill.
Well as a pilot group we should wake up and realize they are offering the sister companies $$$. If you can afford to pay $93k to direct entry CA at GoJet why can't you offer more money at Compass?

Yeah I get that TSH is trying every effort to save money, but it would have been cheaper to just keep hiring and upgrading than it's going to be to remedy the current situation.
