Too many "supposedly" around, I'll take the investors call as an official-ish statement from company: which is 10 to 12 new planes next year. That's it.
Do the math: considering how many pilots we have on property now and the optimistic 8ish pilot/frame goal... it means AT THE END of 2019 we'll be somewhere around target staffing levels. So the number of new hires in 2019 pretty much depends on attrition and retirements only. 10-15 guys total? Wow.
Don't mean to sound like an a$$, I'm trying to use the most reliable information to come up with an educated guess of what 2019 will be like. And so far all I know is that I have to start getting comfortable here at the bottom cause I ain't moving up anytime soon.
I hear ya, I know they have registered a lot of N numbers. Obviously it doesn’t mean they become painted on planes, but it did seem they were somewhat serious. The stupid ass resort is light years from making money (if it ever does at all) and until your Dave and Buster wannabes generate some, the airline is still your primary business.
As I said, time will tell. Regardless of major growth I’m personally still planning on leaving. This is a Pilots market and the absolute disrespect shown towards us and our CBA is unbelievable. It is truly amazing. I am not at all alone either. The home every night BS only goes so far. Attrition will be on an uptick 2019.
