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.
I’d be curious to know how long it takes to get 50% seniority among narrowbody 737/320 pilots at a legacy. I’ll bet it’s not much longer than 4-5yrs.
