It’s getting pretty old. Some FOs I talk to are talking about leaving, but few actually have. I’m not interested in making any lateral moves so I’m holding out, but I’m also actively looking for part time flying gigs that mesh well with a reserve schedule so I actually have some motivation to get up in the morning.

The intersting thing is that QX is on the cusp of a pretty major Q400 captain shortage, evidently. They have an incredibly hard time filling vacancies, for obvious reasons. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Will they offer retention bonuses for Q captains? Guaranteed upgrades in base? Reintroduce some California flying? Can they even offer rentention bonuses per the CBA?
