Quick history lesson. Puerto Rico had upgrades at least 6 months shorter than the jet back in the day bc people didn’t want to go to the rock.
1) You fail to understand, that on some level, the box you speak of is one which we are also in. How we got there, we'd probably agree. How we get out, I'm okay with "helping" the company if it helps us.
2) The rock saw new-hire pilots headed that way even as they knew the ATR would go away. They were typed on a dying fleet and everyone knew it. It was embarrassing. But I don't know what your point is by bringing this up.
3) Even if anyone tried to tell them how to manage (we have), they wouldn't listen. No one is being sold down the road. If you actually think the 800-950hr FO timebuilding deal (for lack of a better term) is selling anyone down the road, you're clearly hyperfocused on absolute minutiae and short-term "QOL" for about 30 FOs.
