Southwest isn’t hurting at all right now (sarcasm)
The largest percentage of pilots leaving here are out within the 1-2 year mark. This place is literally a free type rating factory right now.
So 300-380 new pilots per year right now....is just further tacking on to the prison sentence that is “reserve” in both seats.
