I'm all for discouraging folks from coming here, but this isn't reality.
The last several vacancies have had 14+ upgrades, and it's not projected to ever be lower than that. Once the 3rd sim is installed, it'll be 16+ a month. Yes it'll be hard to upgrade into MCO first opportunity...
This is based on getting new hires here. The last interview group didn't have anyone hired, so there's that.
The aircraft are coming. They DO want to grow the airline... I have no doubt the plan is 200+ airframes, but the key is staffing them. The opportunity here is exponential, but the culture sucks dirty, unwiped, swamp ass.
IF we get a contract worthy of our services, this will be an ok place to work.
