And so I should wish that we all stop hiring????
I recognize that airline managements around the world are going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the reality that they themselves created over the last 15 years, but for now the legacies will keep hiring from the LCCs and regionals and there aren't enough folks (regardless of accent) to fill those slots in the short term!
I will keep supporting ALPA to make sure that my concerns as they relate to safety standards, cabotage, and foreign ownership regulations are represented to the elected (and not elected) officials in the government.
