Well, less than a year later we have a net loss of 8 pilots and the company metering upgrades. 83 pilots gone and, to me, the real telling part is 46% of them were FOs. The DVR said there were 40 captain slots open this month and only 25 were awarded.
So much for growth.
While I don’t disagree with most of what you said, I see 33 upgrades awarded. DVR vacancies are not just upgrades. Transfer/transitions take up some of that while allowing other bases to right size (shrink).
