The moment they even hint at an eventual shutdown they’d lose so many pilots they’d be forced to shut it down immediately or just merge in with Envoy.
They would just run the operation into the ground like wisconsin is, it’s going to be as the planes start to retire. If we don’t get 175s or CRJs sometime in the future that will tell it all.
Also, who is kidding themselves saying piedmont can’t run their business? They made it through summer flying without cancelling flights due to pilot shortages, by offering temporary overtime pay without increasing the labor cost long term. When we stop growing the airline will be staffed just fine and management will look smart for not having to move th whipsaw in the wrong direction for AAG.
