Problem is, they are placing another hurdle in the way of filling classes when it is already becoming harder to find qualified applicants. The recently ratified IBB was designed to help take the pressure off by extracting more productivity out of the existing group. 18 months from now, I think we’ll be well under 2400 pilots on property.

How they meet the need beyond that should be interesting to watch.
This a good thing, tightening the hiring standards. If attracting and hiring applicants of sufficient quality becomes a problem for the company, then we could see them coming to the pilot group with real, tangible contract enhancements to do so.
