Ask around about the “big summer announcement” a few years ago when even CPs were telling people that something will guaranteed be announced shortly. When you had 1000 pilots and now only have 450-500 ish. And still have a retention issue and not just people leaving for majors, what’s up with that? Who else is having such issues beside ASA. Why is it when you fly into MKE or CAE there is always like 6-7 planes just sitting around, can’t those be staffed for flying? Just because some people are staying doesn’t address the issue that more people, mostly junior to moderate junior fo are bailing. When you have decent seniority or are on the cusp of an upgrade, it makes it a lot harder to just up and leave to start over at a place that isn’t a major to be a new hire FO again.
