What do you guys think the short and long term bid divisor/ALV will do?
I tend to think it will go down on average with more staffing. Also, less open time in general as we are staffed better with more dudes with less credit hours (due to better staffing) chasing open time.
Counter thoughts?
I flew with a CKA last week and he was told that if this passes, that they'll increase hiring the rest of this year alone 150 pilots. TIFWIW. I usually take what my buds from that office say with a grain of salt (we were getting 330s 2 years ago), but you'd think hiring increases would be something they'd know about since it directly affects their jobs.
