I still believe an IPO is coming, but j also believe they will start hiring again well before December
No knee jerk reaction. We simply voted in a contract that allows less staffing.
It was asked multiple times at one of the road shows if less pilots would be required if this was voted in. We were told no, due to the companies high acft utilization rate.
Not knocking it or being negative, just stating facts. We need less pilots nothing more nothing less.
Wait until PBS kicks in.
