Because every other ULCC has plans for a massive expansion, is ordering planes and hiring tons of pilots. And we aren't. New low cost companies are coming up left and right, even in tough markets like Canada. I mean, it's pretty clear the market looks good and there's $$$ to be made. And we're stagnant.
If we weren't, everyone would get to their preferred base, with a good schedule and the tone here would be much different.
I understand we are not an airline but we proved for a million consecutive quarters to be very successful at flying people around, even with high fuel prices and inefficient planes. Why not taking advantage of a hot market? The transition is over, if there was a plan we'd have interviews and new hire classes scheduled months ago. I personally see the potential of a great career here, with the perfect balance of work and time spent with my family. But man oh man things at the bottom look very different, and not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel is pretty frustrating. Especially when there should be a very bright one.
