4,000 by 4,000? This is our new target? I guess it will be well after Hell freezes over and global warming wreaks havoc on its icebergs. Even if this minuscule growth takes effect, how will we find quality pilots? I hear 50% of our new hires require additional training. We are not hiring the best obviously. I'm seeing this on the line as well. This place is bleeding from both ends with no end in sight. The best thing that could happen to this pilot group is to be bought out or another D-day effort by real airline. By the way, JD Powers is fixed, if you haven't already caught on by now.
All Mgmt's shoot sunshine straight up the pilot's butt, especially when they want something. Right here on this very forum, you had UAL Cappy's reporting that their mgt back in 2015 telling them they'd be at 18,000 by 2018.....oops.
