It seems pretty obvious that the ones who can afford to are indeed warehousing pilots. It is smart. It reduces likelihood of being caught short, helps attrition (takes longer to get hours needed to move on), and enables them to extend their training out further, lengthening the “pipeline” of pilot supply. It may even be that, once they’re on property and trained, it’s cheaper to pay more pilots minimum pay than pay fewer extra/incentive pay. But regardless the strategic value is worth the incremental cost...what did canceling flights due to no pilots “cost” Horizon?
