I’m 50% COMPANY seniority after 3.5 years at F9. Where in spades can that be beat at any legacy?
I don’t think finding pilots at F9 or NK will ever be a problem. Also, I don’t think 99% of captains would be willing to give up 170k, likely more, in lost wages. As well as losing seniority to go fly for a legacy, even if they did some sort of selective hiring. Unless, the next round of legacy contracts bring 30-40% pay raises.
