Funny thing about that. He knows a shortage is upon the regionals, yet he is willing to let hundreds of LASA pilots leave to help fill classes at his competitors.

And with 40+ more 175's coming in 2018, Chip best be hoping that hiring stays strong and attrition doesn't pick up.

With guys flying 95+ hours/mo at min days off, E-mails begging for people to pick up trips, and deteriorating moral; sounds like Chip has the perfect storm brewing. And this is the slow time of the year! Cant wait to see what summer is gonna look like.
