Because of the August decision to put Boeings on EWR and JFK routes and take the Airbus out. The official decision email came out yesterday.
How do we not know this current slowdown in hiring is not the direct result of having to retrain the entire jfk base on the 737?
A New York 737 base? They don't have the intestinal fortitude to do that. Oh and 'save' 2 million/yr.
By your own admittance the most affected will most certainly be Alaska pilots in Pdx and Sea.
Nope. Genius move on their part. Force VX pilots to bid SFO/LAX before the SLI comes out. Once the SLI is out, all VX pilots are SFO or LAX based. That is one common base overlap with Alaska (LAX), and one new base (SFO). Hardly any affect for PDX or SEA.
