I don't know how to run an airline, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Watching us this holiday season and knowing next fall could have a lot more travel worries me if they plan on keeping me away from the line all year this year because we are not being proactive and prepping ourselves for a recovery. Sure a big chunk of us affected could be put in our old types but there's also a big chunk that I'm in that need a new type entirely and know it will be months from recall to being available on the line.... But hey, green slips galore for you guys. Everyday I'm wishing I was back.... Hope the rumors come true...
that is because we have 3 AEs worth of people not fully trained yet. I personally believe we need to bring more pilots back, but from everything I have seen over the past 6 years, the company will take a few meltdowns a year to save money.
