But wait. One Captain walked off the aircraft earlier this week and quit. ( CP had to cover the trip to Alaska ) 3 more Captains have submitted resignations for this month. So 3 last month, and 4 this month.
2 F/O's also on the way out this month. Expect another 2 Captains to go as soon as a class date is announced.
The bean counters have already figured out that it is cheaper to hire and train, than pay more to keep them here.
So, pay is NOT going to happen anytime soon..
They could pay $100k/year and not know if you’re staying.
They can pay $70k and know for sure you’re not staying and spend $30k/pilot on hiring/training and break even.
Sure
Wish

Finished
Training....
Won’t forget the first time a lead FA raised an eyebrow and said: Oh honey you’ve just been Swifted...
Nothing will change....unless there’s an incident.
Then the lights will go out in 6 months like Eastern after running Pence off the runway in LGA.
