There’s no excuse for stuffing hundreds of surplus pilots into the 145. The company should hire proportionately to anticipated need. No one has ever offered any explanation of why they don’t, and complaining about it is valid regardless of how awful the ATR days were. Why not send more FOs to the 175, and let everybody get a taste of rsv? Why roll out the red carpet on the 175 and shaft the others? Consensus cracking overkill on the relatively impotent union?
