The bigger question is: Why are we bean counting in places that we shouldn't be when the economy and AAG is doing well at this time?
Paying guys who could be flying the line to teach canned SIM events is a waste of resources, I get that. Cost cutting helps the bottom line more than revenue growth. But you can’t do that AND cut the number of hours for IOE like they’ve been trying to do (and succeeding for the most part). That training has to come from somewhere.
