Was doing some snooping and simple math..
Apparently we are supposed to have 6 spare planes in November.
In my 3 years here I have never seen us have 6 spares laying around. That is nearly 10% of our fleet..
( ok more like 8% before someone flips out)
I heard we are down to 13 or so new hires in the October class. We lost 12 last month. So a whopping net gain of 1 pilot and we still supposed to net 5 more frames by the end of the year?!
It’s going to get uglier folks, 100% vacation cancelation and 90 hour line averages.
