You guys going to be hiring next year?
good schedules (min 4days off in a row unless waived by pilot)
hotels are mostly good, 2 in most cities long stay/short stay
few token 4 leg days but most are 1-3 legs
soft time with our min duty period/duty rigs
yes redeyes from lax/las and some jungle redeye turns
our mx is very good now
our pax are not that bad, the first time/novice fliers are usually cause of issues
they did a great job mitigating furloughs and in general pilots are treated very well
as far as hiring..ive heard this summer but who knows with the rona or new/dif travel restrictions if Biden wins
