Cadets have not worked for the company yet. They were sponsored while working for there respective flight schools. They are also young and are already committed to come here. None of them were going to walk away due to selection priority on day one. Something about being on the hook for flight and Medical benifits received while in the cadet program.
Prior 121 get to pick equipment just to turn around and be displaced out of it to 145 LGA in the first 3 months on property.
Everyone else now has less motivation to come here. What they need to do is go back to the old system. While they are at it, increase captain pay so that they don’t have to junior assign these positions to our newest pilots.
